AO3 LINK | First Chapter
____________
“Hello?”
“Hunter? Wh– where’s Mom?”
Hunter hears the panicked voice of Vee, but he’s gone before he can even process the words she says.
It’s the Golden Guard who answers her. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s Luz– she’s in trouble!” Vee cries, obviously doing her best to swallow her tears. “I don’t know what to do!”
“Where? How?” The guard drops the towel and runs to the front door, pausing only long enough to slide his shoes on.
“I– I saw her get grabbed by some guys and dragged away behind the school! I- I- I can’t fight, I- I don’t know how to! Should I–”
“Do not engage.” He orders her. “I will be there in five minutes.”
He tosses Mrs. Noceda’s scroll-thing into her hands just as she steps forward. “Hunter! What’s happening?”
“Luz is in trouble, Vee will give more info.” He says, summoning Flapjack to his hand. “I can get there faster.”
Mrs. Noceda doesn’t argue, just nods and starts talking to Vee. The Guard takes two steps out the door before he swings his leg over the palisman staff and takes off.
He reaches the old shack in only seconds, and all the young witches are gathered out front. They all whip their heads to look at him, all of them suddenly at the ready. Good.
“Luz is in danger,” The Guard doesn’t even have to explain more than that before they’re all in the air with him, following in close formation. Gus rides with him so he can focus on providing them all cover from being spotted by any humans while speeding through the air.
(They might not know it themselves, or they might not want to even hear it said aloud, but the Guard knows all of them would have gone far in the Emperor’s Coven.)
(Half the scouts in the Coven couldn’t match up to them. Best and brightest, indeed.)
It takes three minutes to reach the school and another thirty seconds for someone to shout, “There!” before they all go into a nosedive.
Vee is crying and trembling, speaking rapidly in Spanish into a phone. When Gus drops the illusion, she squeaks in fear and has to quickly soothe her mother on the other end of the phone.
“Vee, what’s going on?” Amity asks her. “Where’s Luz?”
“They– they took her over there,” She points them around the corner she’s hiding behind, across a fenced-in blacktop and behind a cluster of smaller buildings far from the primary one. “It was three of them– they looked like seniors, and th-they were laughing–”
The Guard has heard enough. He takes off sprinting, ignoring the cry of “Hunter, wait !” behind him.
(Hunter might have waited, but Hunter isn’t here. He’s blissfully tucked away in the back of their mind, unaware of the shattering of his peace- and the Golden Guard will do anything to protect that peace.)
The scene behind the smaller buildings is exactly how Vee had described. Three targets and one objective. The Guard scouts first, looking for the best way to handle this as he peeks behind a wall.
Luz is curled up in the dirt, using her arms to protect her face as one single teenager kicks her while she’s down. There isn’t a good angle to see what her injuries are– he’ll have to check after. The other two are going through her bag, throwing out her notebooks and scattering her drawings of the Owl Lady and the bird-dog all over the muddy grass.
“What a fucking weirdo,” One laughs. “Look at this stupid wooden egg she has in here.”
“NO!” Luz cries, quickly scrambling to her hands and knees and reaching out for the egg. “Don’t touch it–!”
The primary target stomps his heel right into the side of her head, the force pushing her onto her back. Her head drops instantly, her body going limp.
The Golden Guard is slamming his fist into the primary target’s face not even a second later. He doesn’t see it coming, not when the Guard comes at him right from his blind spot. The punch knocks him backwards onto his ass, sending him sprawling in the dirt a few feet away.
The secondary and tertiary targets both freeze. The primary groans on the ground, rolling onto his side as he cradles his face.
“Oh, are you still conscious?” The Guard comments, standing over him. He flexes his hand, his knuckles complaining from the lack of wrapping and gloves already. “Your skull must be really thick.”
The rest of his squad catches up finally, all of them pausing for a split-second to process the scene in front of them before they all make a b-line straight to the girl laying on the ground.
“Luz!” Amity cries, throwing herself onto her knees next to the girl and cupping her face in her hands. Gus and Vee are right there with her in a second, kneeling on Luz’s other side. “Oh Titan, please, talk to me.”
“‘mity…?” Luz slurs, and something in the Guard’s chest loosens when he hears her aware and talking already. That means she was only out for a few seconds, giving little chance towards any brain damage.
“You scar-faced little fucker!” The secondary target shouts as he shoves the egg into the hands of the idiot next to him. “I’m gonna end you!”
The Guard shifts his footing to face the brute head-on. He doesn’t even raise his fists, just rolls his shoulders back and stares the older teen down.
“Go on, then.” He bares his teeth. “Better make it quick.”
The secondary idiot goes for a poorly-executed roundhouse kick, which is blocked easily with a forearm. He nearly loses his footing but doesn’t give the Guard a chance to get a hit in first before he’s throwing a punch from the opposite side the kick came from. The Guard ducks easily and punches the idiot in the gut, making him stumble backwards.
“Argh, little shit!” He spits, taking a few more steps back to keep distance while he recovers. He’s already out of breath but the Golden Guard hasn’t even broken a sweat.
“Aw,” The Guard coos condescendingly. “Big guy too tuckered out to fight back?”
It’s almost too easy baiting this guy. Instantly, the moron comes barreling at him shoulder-first with a yell, and the Guard side steps him easily. The idiot stumbles and nearly trips to avoid running over his friend, who was still moaning on the ground. The Guard takes the opportunity to grab him by his greasy ponytail and forcefully pull him down towards the ground while driving his knee up into his solar plexus.
It leaves him shaking like a leaf on his hands and knees and dry retching into the dirt. Tears stream down face as he desperately tries to get air back into his lungs. The Guard barely gives him time to recover before he squats down in front of him and yanks his head back with the ponytail again.
“I’m sor-sorry!” The idiot flinches before he begins to sob. “Y-you win! I gi-give up!”
“Then run .” He orders, roughly letting the ponytail go. He stands to watch stooge two scramble to his feet and take off across the grass and right into the treeline a few meters back.
“Fugging abbhole– broge my damn nobse,” Mutters the one who hasn’t yet learned his lesson, apparently. He’s trying to crawl away slowly, as if he doesn’t even have the strength to get to his feet after a single punch. The Guard ignores him, not willing to expend more energy on him than is necessary.
Then, he looks at stooge three, who visibly flinches when he meets their eyes. “Well?” He prompts, tilting his head. They glance away for a second but stay in place. “Sorry, are you actually too stupid to figure out what you should be doing here?”
They slowly nod. The Guard sighs in annoyance as he approaches them slowly and carefully takes Luz’s palisman and her bag from their hands. Once he secures the egg under one arm he reaches up and pats them on the shoulder gently. Then, he digs his fingers into the meat of their shoulder near the collarbone as hard as he can.
“Leave, and don’t ever come near her again.” He commands, and like a good little idiot they obey, running in the same direction as their buddy.
“Wow,” Vee mutters quietly. “I am so glad he’s on our side now.”
He’s gentle with the palisman egg, tucking them back inside the inner pocket of Luz’s bag with their blanket to keep them warm. He didn’t get the chance to get a good look himself before idiot two was coming at him, but he trusts the others to make sure Luz is okay while he gathers up what he can salvage of her other belongings.
When he stands again, notebooks in his head, he notices Willow isn’t with the rest of their squad tending to Luz. The Captain stays standing, her body tense and her palisman gripped tight in her hands. She acts as their bulwark, but also watches the Guard with discernment as he picks up books and pencils from the ground. He doesn’t meet her eyes.
Instead, he picks up Luz’s wallet from the ground and checks for the paper snails. They hadn’t even bothered to take her money– were they actually just doing this for fun ?
“How’s your head?” He hears Amity ask Luz quietly as she begins to rouse, her confusion fading.
“Hurts,” She grunts, trying to sit up. “Is– Hunter, the egg– did they…?”
The Guard moves to hand her the bag, not looking at her face. It feels… wrong to be without his mask for so long. He’s paranoid that if he meets any of their eyes, they’re just going to know .
(“Hunter– ah, wait a moment… Oh, I see. How was your mission, Golden Guard?”)
“Here.” He says, trying to mimic Hunter’s cadence but not quite getting there. His tone is too dull, too flat. “Your palisman is safe.”
“Th- thank y– Ah!” Luz falls backwards again with a pained cry. “My… my wrist, it’s– it might be broken…”
The Guard turns his head to get a look at it, a shot of cold worry shooting through his chest, and then his thoughts go blank.
The second he sees Luz’s dirt and tear-stained cheeks, his jaw clenches hard enough to make his teeth creak. When he sees blood dripping off her chin and the already-forming bruise around her eye, it’s like the world goes white-hot with rage. For a moment he thinks he might split apart.
Instead, he drops the bag in Luz’s lap and turns around. The primary target still hasn’t found the sense to run, still trying to crawl away in the mud. For once, The Guard is thankful for his stupidity, because that means he gets to kneel down over his chest and grab the idiot by the shirt collar.
“Looks like I'm not done with you.” The Guard all but growls the words, raising a fist.
“Dom’t! I gib up, bl-bleadse!” The scum cries. “I wom’t toubch her again! No, no–! ”
The Golden Guard hits him, cracking his fist across his cheekbone. The idiot begs more, but the Guard just does it again. And again.
“Hunter?”
(He imagines the human underneath him isn’t his own age, but centuries old. Instead of blood, he sees droplets of mud spraying onto his skin and shirt.)
(If he starts hitting even harder with that image in his head, who can blame him, really?)
“Is he actually trying to…?”
Alternating fists, the Guard beats the sorry excuse for a person hard enough for the skin on his bare knuckles to split. At first, the scum cries as he does it– pleading with him, and then he goes quiet, only whimpering at each blow.
“Hey, Hunter, you can stop now!”
Someone wraps their arms around his raised fist, stopping him from throwing another punch. He fights against them, trying to wriggle from their grasp up until a second pair of arms and someone’s hand grabbing onto the neck of his shirt manage to successfully pull him off of the bastard.
“Let me go .” He grunts, but they just hold on tighter.
“No way, dude! You gotta stop!”
“He’s had enough!”
“He’s only had enough when I’ve said so ,” The Guard snarls out, struggling against the witches holding him back. The idiot on the ground is sobbing while trying to curl himself up into a ball, and the Guard wants nothing more than to stomp his ribs until they crack under his heel. Let him see exactly how fun it is to get kicked while he’s down.
“Hunter, you need to stop.” The Captain pleads with him, pulling him further away from the sniveling coward. He tries to wrest his way out of her grip, his pulse drumming inside his ears. Something begins tugging on random locks of his hair and out of pure rage-driven instinct, he summons his palisman to his hand instead–
“ Hunter !”
He stops struggling, and turns to look at Luz. Amity is holding her half in her lap, but both of them are staring at him wide-eyed.
“I’m okay,” Luz tells him, voice shaky and eyes struggling to stay open. “Let ‘im go. He’s been… been punished enough.”
The Guard frowns, furrowing his brow as he studies her face. She gives an encouraging nod, and he relaxes against his restraints. Cautiously, they let him go, and he stands. Flapjack animates again, the staff disappearing as he releases it from his grip. The bird chirps loudly at him, but the Golden Guard doesn’t understand it.
Taking a second to brush himself off, he goes over to kneel next to Luz. She smiles pitifully at him, wincing when it aggravates her wounded lip. He frowns at her chidingly, and the smile falls.
“Blight, can you carry her?” He asks, then internally smacks himself. Hunter doesn’t call her that anymore– he hasn’t in weeks – but no one reacts to the slip outwardly.
“I… don’t think so,” Amity admits, looking away.
The Guard just nods. “It’s fine. I can.”
“I don’t need to be–” Luz’s complaint is cut off as he slips a hand under her legs and behind her back, lifting her into his arms with ease. She instinctively grabs at his shoulders, but frowns at him as he adjusts her weight. “I can walk .”
“Don’t be stupid.” He scoffs at her. “You have a head injury. If you fall, it’ll only make it worse.”
Luz scowls, glaring daggers at him even though she knows he’s right. “Can we just go home now?”
“Mom said she would park on the road closest to the back of the schoolyard.” Vee tells them. The basilisk’s eyes are still watery but her face is dry. Willow slides an arm over her shoulders.
The Guard nods curtly and follows behind Vee as she leads them. He keeps his pace even and his steps firm, watching the path ahead of him for any debris to minimize chances of tripping. Gus is walking behind him, holding their six, but he can feel the illusionist’s eyes on his back.
They haven’t figured it out. There’s no way they would put the pieces together before even Hunter did. It’s just… them worrying about their friend. Hunter doesn’t act like this anymore, but the Guard doesn’t know how else to be .
He’s been what Hunter’s needed most– someone strong and confident, someone who can take on the shittiest parts this world has to offer so that he can still smile and laugh and not be burdened by the weight of his very existence. The Golden Guard is the whole reason Hunter hasn’t just… shattered .
(You can’t have a breakdown over how much you suffered during your childhood if you can’t remember it.)
(But The Guard can remember. He knows how bad it got. When they sleep, it’s his nightmares that plague them. It’s his screams dying in their throat when they wake.)
(Hunter doesn’t remember the nightmares when he wakes up. He remembers the fear, but nothing else, and he’s written them off as bad dreams. It’s for the best.)
“Luz!” Mrs. Noceda’s gasp brings the Golden Guard pause, drawing him out of his darker thoughts.
Her car is parked on the road still ahead of them, but the human is rushing to them the very second they enter her view. She’s on them in only seconds, going right to Luz in the Guard’s arms.
“Oh, baby,” She cups her daughter’s face gently, taking special care not to press on the darkening bruise or her swelling eye. “¿Qué te pasó ? ¿Quién te lastimó?”
“Está bien, Mamá. Fue algunos idiotas de la escuela.” Luz tells her. Whatever she’s said doesn’t soothe Mrs. Noceda, who purses her lips and mutters something he doesn’t catch.
When they reach the car, he takes extreme care to settle Luz in the backseat. There’s not enough room for everyone, so Gus and Willow volunteer to fly back. The Guard almost volunteered himself but as much as he trusted that Luz would be fine with the others, he needed to stay with her. It was like a compulsion, almost.
(Always escort the package back to base to prevent complications during travel and ensure a success.)
On the way home, he rides in the front seat, letting Luz be squished in between her sister and girlfriend. Amity spins two spell circles in the air, keeping them in her palms as she holds them close to Luz’s head.
“I’m sorry,” He hears Amity murmur quietly. “I– I don’t think I’ll be able to do much. I didn’t get a chance to learn more from Em before...”
“Feel better already.” Luz tells her, leaning into her with a sigh. “So nice. Thanks, sweet p’tato.”
The Guard catches Amity’s pink face in the mirror before averting his eyes.
He sits rigid in his seat, feet flat and hands folded in his lap. He scans their surroundings, bracing himself every time another car gets too close to them on the road. Mrs. Noceda keeps the vehicle steady with a lifetime of practice, but his stomach drops every time she puts her foot on the brakes.
(...Maybe sitting in the front was a mistake.)
They arrive home quickly, and Luz insists on walking back inside the house on her own. The Guard huffs in frustration but doesn’t fight her, instead keeping close as he can so he can catch her if she falls. Her steps are wobbly, and the longer she’s standing the more her eyes seem to lose focus. She makes it to the steps of the house just fine, but by the second step she’s already looking like she’s about to either fall over or lose her lunch.
“ Luz ,” Amity groans, reaching a hand out but not touching her. She bites her lip as Luz waves her away, and looks as if she’s trying to decide between respecting her girlfriend’s boundaries and making sure she doesn’t fall and crack her skull open.
Luckily, the Golden Guard is willing to do whatever it takes to complete his mission.
“Come here.” He instructs, moving her good arm around his shoulders and leaning over so she can use him to steady herself.
“I’m fine ,” She insists with a dazed glare, but puts almost all of her weight onto him anyway. “You’re being ov’rprotective.”
Her words are slurring as she’s being half-carried up five steps, so The Guard doesn’t dignify that with a response. Instead he focuses on leading her up and into the house, letting Amity take her jacket and bag from her.
Everyone else went inside ahead of them. Mrs. Noceda already has an extensively stocked first-aid kit laid out on the coffee table. He helps her sit on the couch and takes a seat next to her.
“How bad is it, baby?” Mrs. Noceda asks, pulling on blue gloves and kneeling in front of Luz.
“Not that bad,” She tries to say, but the Guard is swift to correct her.
“Contusions on spine, shoulders, and ribs. There was a direct kick to the head that caused loss of consciousness for several seconds.” He informs her, going down the list while ignoring Luz’s look of betrayal. “Based on the symptoms as presented, grade two concussion is most likely. Right wrist is likely to be injured, as well.”
Mrs. Noceda absorbs it all with a plain nod, soaking a gauze pad in some kind of fluid from a bottle. She begins to dab at Luz’s lip, wiping away the blood gently with one hand while holding her chin firmly with the other.
While Luz is subdued by her mother, he takes the opportunity to examine Luz’s arm. The bruising is particularly bad, but with his careful prodding and gentle twisting, he determines it’s not bad enough to need setting. He cleans off her skin with disinfectant and wraps it firmly with a bandage roll from the pack.
“You know, there should be an old wrist brace somewhere in the basement.” Mrs. Noceda says, glancing at his handiwork. “Will you go fetch it? It will help her not to move it too much as she heals.”
“Yes, ma’am.” He stands and makes his way down into the basement. Flapjack, who has been resting on his shoulder the whole time, follows behind him.
It takes a few minutes of searching, but he finds it in a box of assorted wires and other miscellaneous items. At least, he’s fairly certain it’s what Mrs. Noceda was talking about. When he tries it on himself it holds his wrist steady, which is exactly what Luz needs.
When he turns to complete the retrieval, Gus is standing at the base of the stairs.
“Excuse me.” He says, waiting for him to step aside. When he does, the Guard takes the steps two at a time, but pauses at the top.
“Hunter,” Gus calls after him, and the Guard turns his attention to the witch. “Are you… good?”
“I’m retrieving the wrist brace as requested.” There must be something wrong with what he says, because Gus appears to be discontented by that answer.
“That’s great, but I asked if you were okay .” He presses, raising a single brow.
Admittedly, it catches him off guard, but he quickly recovers. “I’m fine.”
Gus’s expression doesn’t smooth, and the younger boy crosses his arms. What does he want to hear? He is worried about Hunter, but isn’t accepting of the correct answer.
When Gus doesn’t say anything else, the Guard takes that as permission to leave the conversation. The illusionist follows him back into the living room.
He hands the brace over to the matriarch wordlessly. She smiles at him as she takes it.
“Perfect, thank you.” Mrs. Noceda praises before slipping it onto Luz’s wrist.
Amity has taken over his station, using the same healing spell while Luz rests her forehead on her girlfriend’s shoulder. Her eyes are closed, and her breathing is evening out as she’s soothed by the hum of the magic.
“I– I think it’s working .” Amity murmurs in near-disbelief, brow pinching in concentration. “I can feel the pressure lessening.”
“You’re healing her concussion?” His eyes widen.
“With that spell?” Willow clarifies, leaning on the back of the couch.
“Is– is that a problem?” Mrs. Noceda looks between everyone and Amity rapidly.
“Not at all.” The Guard assures her. “The spell is for first aid purposes and has little room for error, but using it to heal major injuries takes high amounts of both focus and raw magical power.”
Mrs. Noceda squints at him. “So, basically, she’s using neosporin to heal a concussion, and it’s working ?”
“Heck yeah, Amity!” Gus cheers. Amity shoots him a weak grin but quickly refocuses.
“My girlfriend is so cool ,” Luz whispers with a little smile, but doesn’t move a centimeter.
After Mrs. Noceda is assured that Luz will be just fine and– thanks to the healing magic– will only need time and rest, she then turns her sights onto the other children in and surrounding the living room sofa.
The first one she sets her eyes on is Vee, who is promptly soothed and assured of her bravery and quick thinking, and that her human sister is safe and sound all because she was there to get her help in time. After some tears, Vee is asked to go to the grocery store to pick up ingredients for dinner. Gus and Willow are also asked to go with her, to make sure she doesn’t get into any trouble. The three of them easily agree.
The Guard recognizes the chore for the kindness it is, giving them all an easy task just so they can have something to focus on instead of listlessly circling around the home as they come down from the adrenaline and stress. Personally, he’s content to remain standing against the wall behind the couch with his arms folded behind his back as Amity slowly drains herself healing Luz’s concussion.
But soon enough, Luz feels well enough to walk without dizziness and Mrs. Noceda sends her to be escorted upstairs with Amity to help her clean up and change into clothes not covered in dirt.
“¡Y no enrolles juntos!” Mrs. Noceda says as the two girls slowly make their way up the stairs. “No hasta que cumplas dieciocho, jovencita.”
“Mama!” Luz groans loudly, hiding her face as she leans against Amity.
“What did she say?” Amity’s soft voice travels down the stairs, followed by another groan.
“¡Y mucho menos con una muñeca lastimada!”
“MOM! ” Luz wails in horror. Her mother laughs at her reaction unsympathetically.
When the bathroom door upstairs closes behind them, Mrs. Noceda turns to the Golden Guard and he tenses. Wordlessly, she approaches him and holds her hands out expectantly. He obeys the command and places his hands in hers.
She turns them over, looking at the mottling of swollen purple bruises across his knuckles with a deep sigh. “I thought so. Eres realmente su hermano mayor, ¿hm?”
He has no idea what she's just said. He’s also certain she didn’t intend for him to understand either, so he remains silent.
She smooths her thumb over a scar on the back of his wrist. “Come here, mijo .”
Guiding him to the kitchen sink, the human woman turns the tap on and puts his hands under the flow. She uses a kitchen towel to wipe around the split in his skin, washing away the dried blood but taking care not to disturb the scab. The cool water running across his hands eases the dull throb under his skin, which he’s grateful for, but the way Mrs. Noceda holds them is… almost unnerving. He’s never been handled with such conscious care.
But Hunter has. Hunter has gotten used to this kind of thing, this casual compassion. He’s leaned heavily into the easy affection that Flapjack, his friends, and Mrs. Noceda just give and give and give yet never seem to run out of.
Hunter even calls Mrs. Noceda by her first name . Even if the Golden Guard is masquerading as Hunter right now, he still doesn’t know if he could ever show such blatant disrespect to her like that. Not when she’s effectively given Hunter his first, real home.
The Guard swallows the lump forming in his throat as his hands are patted dry with a soft towel. It feels wrong .
“There you go.” She releases his hands. He takes a half-step back, resisting the urge to scratch at the skin on the back of them. “Do you want an ice pack for them?”
“No, ma’am. Thank you, ma’am.”
She pauses, glancing at his neck before ushering him out of the kitchen. “Perhaps you should get cleaned up. Or change your shirt, at least.”
He follows her gaze and sees the droplets of blood splatter on the collar of his shirt. “Oh. Right away, ma’am.”

little rant about my gf
I know nobody will see this but myself, but I’m okay with that. This is just a bit of a rant about how much I love her. Ever since she’s been in my life every second of it has been lightened up and shined brightly by her. Whenever I’m sad, she’s there for me, and when ever I’m at my worst she’s right by my side. She has stuck by my side even through our hardest moments. Our five months is coming out (September 4th) and I have no clue on what to get her. I want it to be special since last month I couldn’t get anything. I don’t know if I should draw her and I as lumity, or something. But yeah, I love her with my entire heart and she’s the most beautiful soul I’ve ever had in my life <3
also she is the amity to my luz so technically we are soulmates!!!! 💜💙

Fandom song animatic tournament: Bracket 2 Side A
The Riddle - Scarlett Pimpernel Musical
"And we all have so many faces,
the real self often erases.
Enticing lies flicker through our eyes!
Feel the terror draw ever nearer
the more you stare in the mirror,
but hold your own, face the wind alone."
Crush - Tessa Violet
"I can't focus on what needs to get done
I'm on notice hoping that you don't run, ah
You think I'm tepid but I'm misdiagnosed
'Cause I'm a stalker I seen all of your posts, ah-ah"
Remember that we're voting on how Iconic they are for ANIMATICS, not for the song itself. In order to make things fair, the tone and mood of the song should not affect how iconic it is (for example, a serious song should not be considered more iconic than a joke song just because it's serious)
Propaganda and animatic links of the songs under the cut:
The Riddle - Scarlett Pimpernel Musical
Propaganda:
If people lie in the media then there's gonna be an animatic of this song I think. I've seen them everywhere
Animatics with the song:
Good Omens
The Magnus Archives
DSMP
Gravity Falls
Good Omens
Crush - Tessa Violet
Propaganda:
I swear that at some point(I think it was 2019) there were a million animatics with this song. That's how I found this song and I genuinely like it, I'm pretty sure it's still one of the most listened to songs on my spotify acc history or was up until recently
not only is the song an absolute banger, it is also incredibly sweet and the vibes are simply immaculate. if you want to watch fluffy flustered love, this is the way to go, i love love and i also love crush by tessa violet animatics, both of which happen to be the same thing
Animatics with the song:
BNHA Tododeku
The OWl House Lumity
MDZS WangXian
BNHA Erasermight
Miraculous Ladybug
Please be cautious and read the title, description and warning cards on the animatic videos if you decide to watch them. If you've got specific triggers I'd recommend even more caution when watching animatics of fandoms you don't know, since sometimes canon-typical themes don't get warnings.
Please keep in mind that I don't know all the media and fandoms of the animatics provided as examples and I don't have the time (nor the will) to research them all. Don't come into my notes or my ask box complaining about them being included, I will simply block you. If a ship animatic included is about an adult and a minor, do tell me and I'll take it out of the post
ALSO keep in mind that I don't know all the artists submitted; in fact, even if I do know them I do not know absolutely nothing about them as people (I do not have twitter nor tiktok) and I could not POSSIBLY have the time to research ALL of the artists' controversies and what came of them so PLEASE don't flood my inbox with the artists' entire crime list.

There are certain writing choices I can't help but side-eye...
I don't know how much of the story was planned out before going into production. But I do find it interesting how two big Lumity moments come right before Hunting Palismen and Hollow Mind.
Because from my perspective I can't help but think this might have been done intentionally. Especially once you take into account how Hunters story is tied to Caleb's. When you say that Hunter is the Grimwalker that looks the most like Caleb, you are telling audiences to pay close attention to their stories. When you draw a huge comparison like this, people will logically assume their journeys are going to parallel each other. So, let's not pretend it's ridiculous for someone to believe Hunters' journey wouldn't be romantic as well.
Honestly, If you REALLY didn't want me to think of Luzs' and Hunters' relationship as romantic, then you shouldn't have made this comparison. Also, you shouldn't have made Luz (the only character besides Eda whose identity is heavily tied with wild magic) be the one who lured Hunter away from Belos.
This is another reason why the ending of Hollow Mind is very suspicious to me. Luz and Hunter should have gone into hiding together before the Final Confrontation because it would have tied in nicely with Calebs story. Maybe that's why they had to make Luz OOC at the end of the episode? Because Hunters and Calebs story was the same up until this point.
I mean, how else can you explain them botching Luz's character and leaving Hunter to fend for himself for a whole week in a way that makes sense?

i gotta admit that i have this habit of checking on ur blog every week or so just to read you+other anons expressing frustration w huntl0w. in a weird way it's like an outlet for me whenever i get annoyed by the constant ship content in the fandom. like vicarious venting. if that makes sense
i honestly don't mind it as a crack ship tbh. like if that was all it was, that would be fine, it's like ppl shipping camila/eda, or gus/mattholomule, or vee/masha, etc... like huntl0w, those are all totally normal pairings that (with the exception of camila/eda) have all gotten VERY brief moments that might *possibly* hint to it being a thing in the future. but that's the point, is that huntl0w falls into that category, but the sheer quantity of content that is/has been produced VASTLY outpaces all the other crack ships.
and that's what gets me about it i think . is that the fanon has elevated it to the point where if all you knew about TOH was what you saw in fandom spaces, any outsider would make the reasonable assumption that huntl0w is integral to the plot and has had several episodes worth of development in regards to their relationship
but it hasn't? ,... meaning there's this weird mismatch between universally accepted fanon-as-canon and what actually occurs in the show. and..... it's really, really weird, and i think the question should be asked: why huntl0w? why is this crack ship specifically getting this strange treatment, and having more attention placed on it than fuckin lumity, or raeda?
and let's be real. it's probably cuz it's straight.
there are prob other factors too, like hunter is the stereotypical attractive bad boy who switches sides, or in luz's words, 'i pretend i don't care but i secretly do' kinda guy. think zuko ,and the amount of ppl that simp for him lmao. so it's possible willow is being used as a sort of quasi-self insert (recall how in a lot of their ship art, the focus is always always always on hunter and his issues, with willow just sort of Being There to fluster him/make him happy). and obviously using willow like that is really weird! like seriously i've got no problem if ppl wanna do an oc x canon situation with hunter. that's fine. but actually use some brain power to make a self insert oc instead of using willow lol
anyway i hope that wasnt too much rambling for an ask i just had some Thoughts about huntl0w lol
YEAH, if it had stayed a crackship I could've just like. ignored it and let it be. I definitely still mocked it personally with my partner irl when we would see it because it just seemed so ridiculous to us, but I wouldn't be as vocally angry or have the trauma response it causes now. The content in the fandom for h/l vs. lumity and raeda combined is depressing to say the least. And yes, you're right. It's because it's straight or straight passing at the very least. It's really telling and really upsetting for a queer-based show's most popular ship to be a m/f ship that's not even canon and doesn't even affect the plot. Honestly, I'd go as far as saying it's disgusting and those artists that I see that ONLY draw hunt/low shouldn't even be watching toh in the first place because this piece of media is clearly not what you need.
And it's amazing actually, what you pointed out. It has literally the amount of implication that any other crackship in the show has aside from camila/eda. Like, I knew that but I'd never really thought too extensively on that point. There is seriously no supporting evidence more than for gustholomule that hunt//low will ever end up canon aside from a few blushes from only one side of the ship in the first place. In any other show it would be taken as just that, a little nod at a potential crackship. I don't know why hunt/low shippers are so aggressively convinced that it's already canon when it's barely past crackship level.
And it's definitely all those reasons you mentioned that it's far more popular even than canon queer ships- it being m/f, hunter being the typical attractive bad boy-secretly good character, and Willow being easy to morph into a type of self-insert made to coddle said bad-boy character because that's the type of relationship and validation they want. 🙄 But for real,, if that's the reason you think you like hunt//low,, you don't actually like hunt//low or even Willow's character specifically- you just want a pretty bad boy to like you and you're using hunter as your outlet lmao. Seriously, just make an OC at that point. It does less of a disservice to Willow's character and can be molded into canon however you'd like. I'd prefer to see everyone's canon insert OCs than constant out of character hunt//low in the tags constantly.
#taako talks#asks#anons#toh#the owl house#huntl0w negative#or be like me and have a full past life with hunter#i say as if it was a choice#fox one day in college 5 yrs ago: yea after you died i remember eating breakfast in the cabin kitchen with a white haired boy like you#fox: i think he was a hunter ot had something to do with hunters#us 4 1/2 yrs later: oh. huh. well would you look at that

It has been brought to my attention that over the course of the week, someone has gone to great lengths to spread lies and misinformation about me across several platforms. It has come time to apologize once more for things done in the past and explain myself.
So, please, I ask that you hear me out and reserve judgment until you’ve heard my side.
The main thing I would like to address is the ableist claim. I understand tone is hard to read in text format. I realize that what I said might have been read as malicious when that was not the intent.
What happened that led up to that regretful comment was this; Someone continued to deny an artist as the original source of their redraw, and refused to listen. I wasn’t trying to be malicious, but understanding. I wanted a better context of the situation so that I could try and explain to them why it was wrong to redraw someone’s art and claim it as theirs. But it was taken out of tone and out of context. I honestly didn’t mean any malicious intent towards them or anyone else when I asked. It was purely innocent. But I realize I should have worded my question better, and differently. Since then, that mistake, despite my having honestly apologized before, has been frozen in time by people who hate me and brought up time and time again, making me regret and hate having asked in the first place. So I would like to honestly apologize for making that comment.
The second accusation is me being racist. It is a lie. What really happened; another member was complaining about people drawing TLK characters as humans. If I remember correctly, they were very vague with the status post. It was so vague in a sense that I initially agreed with them. Then they showed their true colors by openly telling their followers how to find the artist that set them off in the first place, and thus targeting that artist. That’s when I stepped in to defend the artist they were dogpiling. Because of this, I’m seen as a racist.
Whitewashing and blackwashing is a thing that happens. I won’t deny that. It can and has happened in fandom spaces, I’m sure. But accusing someone of being racist over defending an innocent artist from dogpiling because they didn’t agree with you doesn’t make them racist. Lions have no race. If people are drawing the broadway actors white, then that would be whitewashing. But otherwise, lions do not have a race and have been a symbol of royalty for thousands of years. Even Disney’s Robin Hood, King Richard and Prince John are lions, but their characters are white. They are depicted as lions because they are royalty.
The third accusation is me being lesbophobic. I would like to apologize to the person I commented on their deviation. I still don’t understand shipping Rei Rei and Zira together. But if you’re willing to tell me the story, I’m willing to hear.
Unfortunately, after that was revealed, my stalker accused me of being lesbophobic. And I ship Lumity, and a couple of gay Transformer ships. I also ship Hicretstrid, a polyamorous ship. And have gay OCs.
I understand that I come across as harsh to many at first glance and for that I’m sorry if I sound intimidating through tone. I’m really a chill person once you get to know me.
But this character assassination witch hunt started because I openly admitted to being pro ship. Pro ship originally meant to be supportive of a specific ship or shipping in general. That we wouldn’t maliciously dogpile someone or suicide bait anyone over a specific ship. But far too many people have twisted the term, using the label to describe their feelings towards ships with problematic elements that were not and should not be accepted IRL. And I get that, we’re all allowed NOtps and squicks. I have NOtps and squicks too, but I won’t dogpile or anything malicious over ship preferences. I’m just gonna be chill with what y’all ship.
Everything that was used out of context against me was old. I have never done or said anything like that since, and have done my best to better myself as a person and correct my behavior. I have made mistakes, but I try to apologize for them when I do.
I’m not mad at my stalker. I pity them, and hope that they find peace of mind to move on.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and hear my side.

What I Thought About "Them's the Break's, Kid" from The Owl House
Salutations, random people on the internet who certainly won't read this. I am an Ordinary Schmuck. I write stories and reviews and draw comics and cartoons.
You know, it's always great when a series has not just one but two cute relationships to root for. Not only that but two relationships on opposite sides of the spectrum. Because while we have Luz and Amity as the young couple and the realistic portrayal of two girls going through their first relationship, we also have Eda and Raine as the older couple with the dramatic showing of a broken relationship trying to get back to where it started. And while I'm definitely a Lumity fan (you all know this by now), I can't help but give Raeda its dues. I mean, for f**k's sake, I made an entire AU where they stayed together. That should tell you how much I care about these two.
And now, we get an entire episode dedicated to them! More specifically, an episode about how they met. Which is undoubtedly going to be cute to watch...or heartbreaking. I'm not sure because I wrote this intro last night in preparation for today's episode. And it seems plausible given how this is the sadder half of Season Two (and holy s**t, does it show). But I'm sure my heart won't be too shattered this week. Right future me?
Oh, yeah, no worries. This episode is adorable.
Sounds great! Now, let's find out together how heartbreaking or adorable "Them's the Breaks, Kid" really is!
Spoilers ahead.
WHAT I LIKED
Luz Making New Glyphs: This is neat. Now, Luz has some new glyphs, now mastering both water and air. All she needs is an Earth glyph, and she might as well be the Avatar!
(There, I made a Last Airbender reference. Do I get my cookie this time?!)
Jokes aside, this moment is a bit undercut by the fact that the main reason why Luz is doing this is to distract herself again. Don't get me wrong, I like seeing Luz add more to her arsenal, but I'm not loving this little habit she's forming by doing work to avoid problems. It tells me that she learned nothing from "Reaching Out." But I'm alright with it. I mean, I'm not ok with my favorite character inadvertently making life hard on herself, but I like seeing more flaws in Luz. A character who is perfect in every way is also uninteresting. So, while I'm sure that Luz throwing herself into work will absolutely backfire, at least it'll be an entertaining character conflict, albeit a heartbreaking one.
(Also, are we just going to breeze past the fact that Luz has a petrification spell now? Because I mean...I think we now know how Belos will die.)
Why Eda Tells the Story of How She Met Raine: THIS HOUSE STANS EDA BEING A GOOD MOM!
Seriously, Eda wanting to tell a story she knows Luz will love just so she won't feel sad anymore is all kinds of sweet. It's still not a healthy solution to let Luz distract herself from her issues rather than confront them, but it shows how much Eda cares for her by doing something Eda knows will put Luz in a better mood. It's wholesome found-family moments like this that I live for, and I can't help but gush at the cuteness of it all.
Eda and Lilith: The same goes for wholesome sibling moments.
Yet, this scene with Eda and Lilith has a heartbreaking tint. Because, well...we know how this ends. We know that these cute sisterly moments fade away due to a mistake that Lilith will regret for the rest of her life. And, the worst part is, you see how that will start. Like the way Lilith gets insecure about Eda being overly correct about a question or the different reasons that they get excited about being in the Emperor's Coven. Lilith focused more on power and status, while Eda was all about the chaos. This proves that their disconnect wasn't sudden, nor was Lilith's betrayal. There are hints through Eda and Lilith's interactions that prove the day of their duel was only inevitable, making this scene all the more bittersweet. Because as cute as it is, it was only the precursor of something tragic to come, showing that their darkest days are just ahead of them.
Principal Faust: Or their darkest days are just a few minutes from now.
Here's something about Principal Faust: I hate him and everything he represents. He's everything I feared Bump would be as a cartoonishly evil principal who cares more about control rather than his students. And yet...he's in the "liked" section. Why? Well, for one, his design is wicked. Seriously, as twisted as this man is, at least he looks cool.
As for the real reason, it's because Faust's actions make me love Principal Bump even more.
Principal Bump: It warms my frickin' heart knowing that Bump always cared about his students, even if troublemakers like Eda were around. His ideal is that no one is beyond redemption, and the lengths he goes through to give everyone the benefit of the doubt just gives me more reasons to love the man! He genuinely cares about students, to the point where he'd confront a coven head that's ten times more powerful than him because he knows it's unfair to rip away someone's reward that they've earned fair and square. That and all the child-endangerment that Terra put the students through. It's everything a person could ask for in a principal. Not a tyrant, but a reasonable caretaker who actually likes children. It's just a better, well-rounded character compared to someone like Faust.
Terra Snapdragon (Spelt it right this time…): But, as much as I adore a responsible caretaker, there's something to appreciate about someone so maniacal. I think I said Terra Snapdragon is the type of person who would kill you nicely. Now, I'm convinced she would straight up mangle your body but have a warm, motherly smile when doing it. Seriously, though, this woman's insane, and I'm all for it. She's terrifying but entertainingly so. Where a villain like Belos makes me quiver in my boots when he shows up, Terra is more or less on the same line as a Batman villain. And, no, it's not because she has the same powers as Poison Ivy. It's because her personality is so strong that I'd have a blast watching her, even if it is doing something dastardly. Of course, if she'd exist in real life, I'd certainly head for the hills. But, because this is a work of fiction, I'll enjoy the crazy lady who lets children fight each other over ribbons for all she's worth.
(Also, it's probably a mistake on the character designers' part to make her look hot when she was young. Doesn't this series have enough milfs for creepy men on the internet to drool over?!)
Although as entertaining as Terra is, she's not the standout star of this episode.
Eda and Raine: Oh, how perfect these two were in this.
If you didn't understand why these two were perfect in "Eda's Requiem," you'll get it here. Eda and Raine are like partners in crime, with both working well together in both sync and in harmony. What's even better is that you get why Eda falls for Raine. While Eda can be all for chaos, Raine leans more toward controlled chaos, knowing how to let Eda run loose without getting in trouble. And if Raine being an evil genius isn't enough to make Eda fall for them, everything else about Raine will. The way that they're a skilled and powerful witch can match Eda's level is great, but how they offered Eda advice and tried to calm her down from her anxieties shows a person as compassionate as they are devious. But that's why we know Eda fell for Raine. On the other end, we understand that Eda brings fun to Raine's life, making them laugh and think of neat tricks they wouldn't have thought of before. You see how both get something out of their relationship, leading to some interactions that are best described as cute, wholesome, cute, funny, cute, cute, and cute.
"You said cute, like, five times."
BECAUSE THEY'RE CUTE!
However, this is Season 2B. So, not everything has to stay wholesome. Where's that anxiety?
Covens Vs Wilds: Ah. There it is.
As far as I can tell, this game is like "Cowboys and Indians," but worse. Way, way, way, way, way, way, way worse. Because Covens vs. Wilds sounds like a game designed for fear-mongering, and it feels...icky that there's a children's game about some witches running to avoid getting caught by the more powerful ones chasing after them. It's pretty sick and twisted, showing the dark side of the Emperor's Coven through the lens of what could be an innocent children's game. The innocence only ends when you think about it longer than a second.
As for the game itself, it's pretty intense. The second the game starts, everyone goes into Hunger Games mode, attacking one another and giving people barely enough time to catch their breath. Although, I guess a good thing that came from this is that it did let us see a powerful Eda again, which honestly felt jarring given how powerless she's been this season. So, it's nice to see a return to form again.
Terra Preventing Eda’s Expulsion: It's also nice how everything works out in the end.
I guess if there's one thing to complain about "Them's The Breaks, Kid," it would be that it tries to have big stakes even though we all know how it will end. Eda won't get expelled, won't hurt Raine, nor will Terra actually kill them both. Still, I'll give the episode credit: The fact that I knew the ending didn't bother me. Heck, at one point, I forgot I was watching a flashback due to getting sucked into the drama and adorableness. It's why I felt relieved that Terra gave Eda a solution to her problem. I was so invested in the story that I didn't care if I knew it would all work out. It was still fun to see how.
Raine Starting Eda’s Apple Blood Addiction: And it's funny to see how Eda got her Apple Blood addiction. But, yeah, it's also sweet watching these two bond over good/awful juice, and taking turns to lovingly stare at each other is such a solid note to end on. Couldn't ask for a better way to finish off such a cute and wholesome--
Raine Changing Terra’s Tea with the Whistle: …What?
Raine is Working with Darius?: What?
The Day of Unity Involves a Draining Spell: What?!
The Door is Being Moved!: WHAT?!
Raine Not Wanting to get Eda Involved so She Wouldn’t be in Danger: WHA–Ok…That is a lot. This is the literal last minute, and the writers threw so much at us...and I love it. I love that the writers managed to make a wholesome episode about how Eda and Raine met, but they kept the plot going with all these major reveals that still work with the episode's context. It's not like in Amphibia, where the ending stings feel like they could go anywhere. Episodes like "Anne Vs. Wild," "Lost in Newtopia," and "Froggy Little Christmas" end with scenes that don't really match with what happens before them, and it just feels like the writers wanted to insert these in the season but weren't sure how. Now here, in "Them's the Breaks, Kid," the ending works. It takes knowledge that the episode foreshadowed and, because everything was Raine-heavy anyway, ending with a reveal of what they've been doing the whole time just felt right. It's another perfect end to another perfect episode.
WHAT I DISLIKED
No, again, this episode is perfect. I might hate Faust, and adding stakes doesn't make sense for a flashback, but I don't care. Those are nitpicks compared to everything else done right.
IN CONCLUSION
"Them's the Breaks, Kid" is another A+. The Raeda moments are amazing, the insights into these characters are better, and the story's pretty solid. I was already a Raeda shipper before this, but after? Let's just say that, now more than ever, I'm hoping for the best for these two and that nothing can break them apart.

Frequently Asked Questions
*This post will be updated and subject to change if the need arises*
Questions begin below the cut:
––0–0–0––
Technical, Non-Universe Questions:
What do you use to draw?
Firealpaca and my Wacom tablet! Here’s a post that includes more specific specs.
Can I make fanart/recolor panels/write fanfic/make an au based on yours/etc?
Yes! Just credit me accordingly. Same goes for using my art as pfps, but just make sure that if it’s one of the recolors that someone has submitted as fan art that you ask them permission as well. (Also send me the stuff you make I WANNA SEE IT)
––0–0–0––
Meta Questions:
Will [insert event/spoiler/anything to do with Flapjack, Vee, Camila, Luz’s Palisman, the Collector, etc] happen in the comic?
You’ll have to wait and see! Tag Team is an ongoing comic as much as it is an AU, so I won’t be skipping forward to show specific moments that will appear in future comic updates like other AUs out there.
Can we suggest events and situations for the comic?
Tentative/flexible no. I already have most of it scripted out, so most “can this happen?” requests will not be honored. Small things like non-plot details or events/situations that happen before the events of canon (check out the pre-comic timeline here) might slide, but don’t get your hopes up.
Will Lumity happen?
Yes! It’ll take a while, but yes.
Will Hunter be shipped with anyone?
Sort of! Tag Team Hunter is aromantic, but he will go through a sort of pseudo-romance arc with someone to showcase that aro aspect. There isn’t an endgame romantic ship for him.
––0–0–0––
Story Questions:
How did Luz get to the demon realm, and how did Belos find her?
Luz slips into the demon realm at age 7 by falling into a lake near her house that was infused with titan’s blood. She ends up in a forest near the Emperor’s castle and is found by Hunter who secretly sneaks her food. She’s eventually found by coven scouts, mistaken for an escaped basilisk, and brought to Belos. (Post with more elaboration here).
Why does Belos take Luz in?
(This answer has changed with the revelations of Hollow Mind and King’s Tide)
Belos takes Luz in because 1) she’s human and he wants to “keep her safe” from the demon realm, and 2) as a sort of experiment to see if he could replicate the relationship he had with his brother through Hunter and Luz. It initially starts with the intention of making it so Hunter would be less likely to betray him (encouraging them to be codependent, making it so Luz has to be watched over since shes “defenseless”, etc), but it eventually evolves into Belos heavily projecting onto Luz because of their similarities. He gets creepily emotionally attached to what Luz represents.
What is Hunter’s reaction to having a new sibling?
He HATES it at first. He doesn’t like dragging around a terribly-behaved, fragile human that keeps getting into trouble. In the timeline, it takes around a year for them to stop bickering and start getting along. (More elaboration here).
Why keep Luz’s humanity a secret? Who knows?
(This answer has changed with the revelations of Hollow Mind and King’s Tide)
It’s a manipulation tactic on Belos’s part to make Luz wary of witches and demons - he is the one to insist on how important it is that it’s kept secret, because “who knows what a witch will do when they find out you’re a defenseless human. They’ll rip you apart. You’re not like them. I’m the only one you can trust because I know who you really are and I’m kind to you,” etc.
No one knows but Belos, Hunter, and (unknowingly to the others) Kikimora through her snooping.
What’s the deal with the Guildersnake?
Luz’s Guildersnake, also known as Backup, was a gift from Eberwolf early on in Luz’s stay in the castle. (Elaboration here).
What is the Azura Incident?
The Azura Incident was an Azura bookclub meeting gone wrong, resulting in a month-long shipping war within the coven where the two sides were fighting over who Azura should be in a relationship with. There was a real threat that the Emperor could be overthrown in the chaos. Luz led one faction with Hunter as her second-in-command. Steve “led” the other faction with Lilith as the real mastermind. The chronological tag is HERE. The short fanfic of the incident is HERE.
Why doesn’t Luz have a staff?
(This answer has changed with the revelations of Hollow Mind and King’s Tide)
To encourage Luz and Hunter’s codependency, and also the “us/them” mentality between humans and Witches that Belos is trying to foster in Luz (which… doesn’t really work). Hunter is responsible for Luz’s wellbeing, and since she can’t do magic or any way to defend herself (that Belos knows of), he has to stay by her side pretty much all the time. Hunter lets her borrow the staff outside the castle sometimes, though, and they of course have the glyphs.
Why does Warden Wrath call Luz “sir”?
Luz and Hunter are difficult to tell apart while fully masked, at least until they start speaking, so everyone calls them both “sir” out of convenience! Luz is pretty gender-nonconforming in canon, so she’s fine with it.
Does Luz remember how to speak Spanish/has Luz taught Hunter any Spanish?
Yes to both! Luz is still fluent, although it’s difficult to stay in practice since no one in the Boiling Isles can speak it. She has taught some to Hunter, but he doesn’t know much. He picks up certain phrases that he mutters to himself, though. (Elaboration here, here and here).

Janna Ordonia x reader
Britta’s Tacos 11:00 p.m.
I walked into the kitchen of Britta’s Tacos, just as Oscar was about to leave.
“Oh hi (Y/N)! You about to clock in?”
“Yes, I am. Better get to work, look at all these customers! They’re all waiting for a taco, an hour before midnight.” I said sarcastically, pointing at the nonexistent line of customers at the ordering window.
Oscar laughed while taking off his apron and grabbing his backpack, heading for the back door.
“Well I’ll leave you to it, see ya tomorrow (Y/N)!
“See ya!” I let out a sigh just as he closed the door, why do I have to work the late shift? I wouldn’t be sleeping at this hour anyways, I’d just be endlessly scrolling through Tumblr, but stil!
Running on pure monster energy drink and three hours of sleep, I put on my apron and hat, and walked over to the ordering window to wait for any customers to show up. About a month ago, the owner decided that Britta’s Tacos was going to become a twenty four hours restaurant. And of course I was the one who got assigned the 11 p.m.-7 a.m. shift.
I mean, it’s not that bad. I get some time away from my shitty family and the manager isn’t even here so I pretty much get to do whatever I want. This led to me making a TikTok account dedicated to showing what it’s like to work the night shift at Britta’s Tacos. Of course not all of my videos are about Britta’s Tacos, but about eighty percent of my TikToks are recorded here.
In my first month of working the night shift, I’ve met some interesting people. There was the trucker who had been broke so many times he didn’t know what to believe, the boy toy named troy who used to live in Detroit and many more. But none of them caught my eye like the girl that just sat down at that table just did.
There seemed to be this wave of I don’t give a fuck radiating off of her. And that was way more attractive to me than it should be. I noticed I had been staring when she dropped a heavy book onto the metal table which caused a loud noise to resonate through the courtyard and wake me up from my daydream.
She continued to place more books, sketchbooks and occult looking items such as animal skulls onto the table. And the whole time I was watching her the only thing going through my head was “Fuck, my gay is showing.”
As she stood up and made her way to the order window, I quickly turned off my work voice that I had to use with adult customers and switched to my regular voice.
“Hi, welcome to Britta’s Tacos. What can I get ya?”
“Just a uhm burrito and a large cherry coke please.”
OH MY GOD SHES’S NICE TO RESTAURANT STAFF ARF ARF BARK BARK.
Looks like I’m gay panicking again, okay lemme snap out of it.
“Alright I’ll be back with your order in just a moment.” I went to the kitchen and started off by toasting the tortilla for five seconds on each side. While putting the organs inside the tortilla skin I let my mind wander to that girl again.
I have to stop doing this, I catch feels way to quickly and it’s not even funny, it’s just sad. But I can’t help it.
“Well, I guess it’s time to not shoot my shot and regret it for the rest of my life.” I thought as I wrapped the burrito and poured the cherry coke into a cup. Bagging the order and putting it on a tray, I made my way back to the order number where the girl goddess was on the phone with someone.
“Yes Star, I’m sure it’s her. Now hurry over here before I break into your house and kidnap you.”
She hung up on her friend and turned towards me.
“Sorry for that, how much do I owe you?”
“That would be A dollar and eighteen cents.”
She handed me the money and just when I thought I’d never see her again and I’d never have a chance with her.
It happened.
Her phone rang.
And what was her ringtone?
Dead girl in the pool by girl in red.
Time to shoot that shot like they shot Harambe
“Ugh Tom stop calling me.” She mumbled under her breath as she declined the call.
My brain was fucking zooming as I tried to think of a conversation topic.
Then all of the sudden someone fucking tackled her.
I leaned over the counter and saw a girl with long blonde hair. I immediately recognized her voice as she loudly shrieked out. “JANNA BANANA”
“Ugh, Star get off!”
Okay so now I know her name is Janna. That’s progress, right?
But that’s besides the point. I know that bouncy ball! She’s my favorite TikTok mutual!
“Starship420?”
She turned her head towards me and her eyes seemed to light up as she recognized me.
“(Y/N)’s Tacos?”
I jumped over the counter and laughed in glee.
“Oh my god star! I had no Idea you lived in Echo Creek!”
“I didn’t know you lived here either!”
The girl who I now knew was named Janna walked over to her table with her food and started reading through one of her books.
“Yeah this is great! So uhm, can I get you anything?”
She held her chin as she thought about her order.
“You saw my sugarrito video?”
My expression suddenly went dead serious as I nodded to her and climbed back over the counter and headed towards the kitchen.
I continued to assemble a normal burrito but then dumped on five heaping tablespoons of sugar. I filled up a medium cup with mountain dew, bagged it up and brought it to the ordering window.
“Alright that’s a dollar and eighteen cents.”
Star grabbed a big stash of money from a wallet that didn’t look like it belonged to her and handed a five dollar bill to me.
“Thank you, and here’s your change.”
She grabbed her change and then proceeded to hurl it past my head into the kitchen.
“Keep the change.”
“I- okay thanks.”
Star took the tray from my hands and made her way towards Janna.
As I was picking up the change that Star decided to yeet into the kitchen I realized that me and Janna had one thing in common that could cause us to become friends.
We were both friends with Star.
Star had the ability to magically create new friendships. Because of star I met Ponyhead, Marco, Kelly and many more people.
I once again hopped over the counter and joined the two girls at their table, where Star was excitedly telling Janna about the science of the sugarrito while Janna was drawing different glyphs on a sheet of paper and mindlessly nodding to make it look like she was listening.
I bravely took a seat next to Janna.
“Watcha drawing?
Janna jumped and looked at me.
“Uhm yeah, ha you startled me. I’m trying to draw light glyphs.”
I looked at her drawings and realized I recognized them.
“Oh like from The Owl House?”
Okay (Y/N), this is your time. If she says she likes the show, mention Lumity and look at her reaction.
“Yes! You watch that show? I started watching after I found out Lumity is canon.”
OKAY THIS IS GOING GREAT SHE LIKES LUMITY
I let out a soft laugh and smiled at her. “I started crying during the dance scene!”
We both burst out laughing, as we were both attempting to catch our breath we subconsciously scooted closer to each other.
Both of us seemed to have forgotten that Star was there too but she was too busy to notice, aggressively texting someone.
She stood up and grabbed her unfinished drink. “Sorry guys, Marco’s REALLY upset that I stole his wallet again. He wants me to come home to return it. I’ll see you guys, maybe we can arrange a meetup tomorrow.”
She grabbed her wand out of nowhere and took a deep breath before yelling “SUMMONING CLOUDY CHARM”.
A fucking cloud that looked like it just consumed some psychedelics appeared out of thin air, Star hopped onto the cloud and flew away.
“Does she do that often?”
“Yeah, you should be seeing a lot of that when hanging out with her.”
Janna and I talked for what seemed like hours and hours. We both chugged the monster energy cans from my backpack and she tought me about the topics in her books.
She seemed to light up as she ranted about hexes and spells. And by the time the sun rose, I knew more about the paranormal then I thought was possible.
“My manager is coming in an hour, I should probably get everything set up to make it look like I was working all night, I’m not really looking to get fired.”
Janna stretched and began packing up all of her stuff. “So you wanna meet up again some time?”
I stood up placed a hand next to her on the table, leaning to the side.
Okay time for twenty seconds of bravery.
“Sure, when you got time?” I said to her, smirking.
She looked up at me, the tiniest blush forming on her face “Uhm, maybe we can meet up here on Thursday and we can watch a movie at my place? Maybe get some snacks from 7 eleven.
I pushed myself off of the table.
Sure, it’s a date.
I walked back to the restaurant, silently celebrating my succes.
Britta’s Tacos, 07:a.m.
I had just finished all of my tasks and was waiting for the manager to show up to dismiss me.
As Dana walked in she greeted me and looked at me questioningly.
“Girl you just finished an eight hour shift, what’s got you so happy?”
“Nothing”

✨💕🏳️🌈 & the owl house for the hyperfixation asks!
Thank you babe, you get me
✨ What draws you toward your hyperfixation
Okay, so where do I begin. It’s just all around such a great show. It’s very tightly written show with really good pacing (lumity happened at just the right time, I will die on this hill) It’s beautifully animated, with such good character design and worldbuilding. I love a fantasy world that’s really grimy and off-putting but still really fantastical, it’s like dark whimsy it’s so cool. All the characters are so well written, with great dynamics, the found family theme is so touching and perfectly written, seriously the dynamic between Eda, Luz, & King is perfect. It’s a lot of representation that’s good representation that because the writing is so good. It handles so many mature themes for a kids show yet is also really funny and brings me so much joy and comfort
💕tell us about your favorite characters and why you like them
Oh boy, here we go
Luz: perfect baby bisexual, love my black Latina baby, best girl, perfect protect at all costs. She’s like the perfect weird girl, like she’s in no way a cleaned up or Hollywood-ified weird girl, I see her and go: yes that is exactly what an awkward teen girl is like. I see so much of myself in her especially my younger self, I would have inprinted on her so hard if I watched this show when I was younger, and now that I’m older it’s just like “protect, protect at all costs” She’s really perfect as a protagonist, she’s an outsider in a new world so you can learn about the world through her but that also helps with her character development and her growing as a person. She’s really balanced as a character, her neurodivergence isn’t demonized and is part of why she’s so great but also sometime her behavior is destructive or harmful and she has to learn from it, she goes so far to help those she loves but sometimes she oversteps and ends up messing things up and takes to much responsibility on herself, she’s kind but also is really sassy and not above manipulating situations to her advantage, she’s merciful but also has boundaries and isn’t afraid to cut a bitch if she needs to. She’s insecure and fears rejection but also is a ray of sunshine in everyone’s life. She’s delightful, love my baby
Eda: harpy mama, the milf, mean femme rights, tacky femme rights, trashy femme rights, MY MOM. I love her so, I love having an older queer chronically ill coded protagonist, I love having a character like that be a mom. I admire her so much and she’s kind of everything I strive to be when I’m older. She’s so sassy and funny and eccentric and marvelous. I love how she acts as a mom, how’s she sassy and talks back and wants her kids to talk back to her, but she’s still really soft and caring and incredibly protective and would do anything for them. She’s so strong, she’s been through so much. She’s been misunderstood and shunned since she was a child, been dealing with a curse that made her hate herself for most of her life, had to fight off her family’s attempts to cure her, lost the love of her life because she couldn’t accept help. She has such low self worth and blames herself for things that really aren’t her fault, and in a lot of ways doesn’t think she’s worthy of help, but she’s growing so much and still cares so much about those she loves, and cares for those who are rejected and abandoned as well. She gives me happy feelings.
I wanna do more but this is really long so I’ll stop here for now.
🏳️🌈do you have any head cannons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc)
Surprising not a lot. I really like non-binary she/they luz and kinda like the idea of trans-femme Eda. This isn’t really a head canon but my interpretation of Stan/Eda being divorced is that while Stan never got over her, Eda has mostly forgotten this ever happened (side note: Eda’s stages of grief definitely included a horny stage, and since I probably won’t find a another time to mention it I don’t think Eda nor Raine were chaste in the years after them breaking, nor should they have been, I’m against the idea that you’re only allowed to be with/in love with more than one person, they were apart for twenty god-damn years) oh and this is just softly cute to me: Raine and Eda aren’t really big on pda, not because they’re ashamed they’re just private like that, so they only hold hands when they’re around people they really trust and also they sneak in kisses when they think no one is looking, so is kind of a big deal if someone like Luz happens to see them kids. I’m torn between Blondie being gay or bi, doesn’t really matter either way. Nothing else comes to mind right now, except really small things like that I think Lilith picked up a lot of small hobbies throughout her life like calligraphy and origami and that Amity can’t cook to save her life (that’s actually sort of implied)
(From this ask)

Sooo... yesterday evening me and Jean/@babys-first-wanted-poster were talking about some possible Lumity dates, bc as much as we love seeing Amity pining and as much as I enjoy dense-af-Luz, we also would really love to see some actual dating moments
So I present to you, this Lumity’s first date idea we put together (we also had a few other date ideas, but I‘m going to focus on this first date for this post)
So what would their first date be? First instinct says something like talking about books and maybe just going into town and something small etc.
But I’d argue that Luz would go all out and try to do something way over the top and probably ill advised, because NOTHING is good enough for Amity???? (according to Luz at least)
So she has this whole survival adventure/walk planned out in the forest near the Owl House (inspired by the adventures of Azura) and the road is marked by these little tea lights (in glass jars!) & they start walking down the road holding hands and both of them are very blushy and awkward and also wearing some cute clothes they’d usually not wear
And also that forest is very dark and multiple monsters live there & about 15 minutes into the walk Luz screws up by accidentally kicking a jar over
Which would’ve been fine if the tea light didn’t manage to set some shit on fire and that fire spreading semi-quick
Luz tries to put out the fire by whacking it with her jacket, which also catches fire and Amity with some quick thinking manages to put out the fire with a water spell (or something similar)
So Luz’s outfit is ruined and the walk through the forest wasn’t also really what she hoped it would be, and so they retreat back to the house, Luz feeling kinda dejected (of course, her perfect date plan is ruined)
(don’t worry about the other tea lights or more things catching fire, that’s why they are in glass jars which is usually safe and Luz also picks them all up the next day)
In the process of Luz grabbing some new clothes in her room however Amity spots Luz’s Azura books collection and also some of her Azura fan art and asks about it and the conversation kinda flows natural from there
At some point they are both lying on the ground drawing a fan comic with their self-insert OC’s and it starts getting dark outside so Luz draws some light glyphs to light up the room and create a more romantic atmosphere which actually has Amity being quite smitten
Another hour or so later Eda (and Lilith) enter the room being like “sooo you want dinner or ????” leading them to realize that
1) it’s already quite late
2) they are in fact starving
All of them go downstairs and eat dinner & because it’s already really late and dark (and also bc she’d much rather not leave) Amity decides to stay the night
So she calls? messages?? her parents and it takes some convincing, but she can stay the night, so yay for a sleepover!!
Luz finds an extra futon and sleeping bag and puts next to hers (Lilith tells Eda for the umpteenth time that they should get some actual proper beds in this house)
While laying down the sleeping gear for Amity Luz apologizes for ruining their first date and kinda rambles on how she tried to plan this perfect date for amity bc that’s what she deserves and she just wanted to wow her and and and
Amity just grabs Luz by her collar and tells her that despite the fire accident she had a great time and so much fun and this was a perfect first date and then she (kinda awkwardly) kisses Luz
Luz is both smiling and crying a little bit and Amity now has a panic moment because oh no, did she fuck up?? and Luz just tells her how happy she is to hear that Amity enjoyed their date and how happy she is she is here now and then they share another (very short, very awkward and very mutual) kiss
And Luz is also super tired so she starts getting ready for bed, Amity has to borrow some sleeping clothes from Luz which are actually a bit on the big side (bc wide sleeping shirts are super comfy you can’t change my mind)
They then both lay down in their sleeping bags next to each other holding hands and talking some more
Until King barges in and demands his usual sleeping spot on Luz’s sleeping bag which she allows and then the three of them talk a bit more about Azura (King is also a fan remember?)
But Luz is still very tired and passes out really quickly. King stays awake about 10 minutes longer and Amity spends at least another 30 minutes being awake and looking at Luz’s sleeping face (and how she drools a bit) all while still holding Luz’s hand of course
They get awoken by Hooty the next morning, Luz curses at Hooty, Amity is ready to throw down with Hooty and King complains loudly
Eda is in the doorway 5 minutes later telling breakfast is being made (by Lilith, who also forced Eda to wake up early bc breakfast and also to get the kids)
They let go of each other’s hands somewhere during the night, but King is quick to tell Eda about their hand holding anyway and she throws a knowing smirk at the two
Amity and Luz both blush very deeply, then get up and dressed and enjoy some quality breakfast made by Eda, bc it turns out Lilith is a kitchen disaster
Right before breakfast however Lilith throws a very knowing smirk towards Amity, who blushes furiously [like the last panel in this comic]
As much as Amity doesn’t want to leave, she also promised her parents that she would come back home before the afternoon, bc something formal for the Blight family or something
Lilith walks Amity partially home and continues to give her “the talk”, motherly mode activated and all
Amity is actively suffering and wishes she could just disappear and doesn’t actually want to hear any of these things about boundaries and communication and about relationships in general, not at that moment, not from her (former) mentor
But then Lilith also tells Amity that it’s been a while she’s seen Amity so happy and that she’s really happy for her and how they both looked really happy together and that she hopes that they’ll be good and kind for each other and the kind of words you DO want to hear from a parental figure when you’re 14 and just got a relationship
When Amity arrives home Emira and Edric are there at the door being all like “oooh, you stayed over at a friend’s place look at who’s finally starting to rebel” and Amity’s face just flushes all red being kinda embarrassed about what happened last night (at least that her older siblings know about it) and the twins just REALIZE at that point
For the next few months they constantly tease her with “Mittens is smitten”, chanting it all the time, but never when their parents can hear
For their second date Amity and Luz decide to play it safe and just immediately go to Amity’s Secret Hide-out in the library and they write some Azura fanfics together and recommend each other books
BONUS
After dinner when Luz and Amity went back to Luz’s room to go to sleep Lilith says to Eda that they should probably have a talk with those kids sooner rather then later
Eda is all like “what, why?” at which Lilith starts a rant that lasts about 2 hours about why it is important to guide these young kids in love in their budding love and that if they’re not careful they could really hurt each other or worse and Eda barely listens and just tries to agree to get her sister to shut!! up!! pleaseee!!!!!!!
So when Lilith is walking Amity home, Luz and Eda stays behind and Eda just tells Luz “Anyway, remember to respect each other, be kind to each other and if you ever hurt Amity Lilith will throw you off a cliff”
(which leaves Luz very embarrassed and wishing she was not there)

Lumity: “Grom: Amity’s Side”
Amity frowned and crumpled another page of her favorite magenta stationary. The floor around her desk was already dotted with balls of color paper. "Why is this so hard! ‘Luz. Will you go to Grom with me?’” Amity's face reddened even as she said this to her empty room. She sighed heavily and laid her head on the desk.
“What you doing mittens?" Edric popped up suddenly next to her, his twin close behind.
"Ahhh!" Amity was so startled that she fell out of her chair to her siblings amusement.
"Edrick! Emira! Get out!" She said hotly. "I just thought we could help our cute little sister with her homework!" Emira said sweetly. “Unless… This isn't homework…" Her fingers inch towards a discarded note.
“IT’S JUST HOMEWORK! I GOT IT! PLEASE LEAVE!” Amity drew a quick circle to burn the note her sister was reaching for and pushed the twins towards the door. A brief scuffle at the door and a summoned abomination later, Amity was alone again.
With a sigh she took the opportunity to burn all the notes, rather than risk her siblings coming back and taking one. Gone were notes about getting balloons and shoving them in her locker, notes about meeting her in a supply closet to ask her in private, gone were long notes with flowery words. Amity sighed at the half dozen piles of ash. She would never get the nerve to do something big. She wasn’t even sure if she could push the words out.
‘But...’ she took a new sheet of stationary. ‘Maybe something simple...’ A note. Clear and to the point, Amity just had to pass to Luz. She could do that.
She could not do that. Amity could barely find Luz alone the next day at school. Not only that but the school was well on its way to being ready for the next night’s festivities and looking at the decorations was only making her more aware of her dwindling time. She glumly trudged to her next class, debating giving up on passing it to her at all, when she bumps into someone, knocking her books to the floor.
“Watch it nitwit!” She said impulsively before noticing who was in front of her. “Oh! Hi Luz. And co.” She was proud of having managed to keep the blush down when Luz, who had been helping her collect her things, held out a magenta piece of stationary. ‘Oh god.’ SNATCH.
“Man, you’ve got some quick grabbers.” Luz said unfazed by Amity’s weirdness.
“It’s just… it’s...” could she say it? “private.” nope.
The loudspeaker crackles to life. ‘Time to announce grom royalty? I pity the unlucky kid who has to deal with that shit this…’
“Amity Blight!” ‘F***.’
“Whoo! Am-it-y!” Luz cheers but the girl herself barely notices over the stares and her own encroaching terror and shame. Head down, she runs off.
Finding an empty classroom she closes the door and holds herself close. ‘I can’t. It’s one thing to ask her myself to the dance but to be outed in front of everyone? No.’ She pulls out her note and moves to rip it. When she isn’t able to do the deed, she slips it back into her pocket with a sigh. The loudspeaker starts up again and Principal Bump is calling her to the gym to go over Grom Queen details and she drags herself over.
Amity hangs out high on the bleachers of the gym as the principal runs through directions for decorating, too distracted to talk to her despite him calling her here. Her ears twitch when they hear the voice of Luz, who clearly has the wrong idea about what the whole event is about.
“They are not for decoration,” Amity corrects, alerting the human to her presence. “This arena is where I will make my debut as Grom Queen.” She stands to descend and forces her arms to her side.
“Right. So why don’t you seem excited?”
“Because this isn’t just some dance party.” A deep, animalistic noise rises from the pit and Amity elaborates on the true nature of what she has to do. They part ways after some well intentioned but naïve advice from Luz.
Amity decides to take the long route home. She hoped to get her thoughts and emotions under control before having to share the news with her parents, unless her siblings have already told them. ‘If I do this and succeed, I’ll be praised by the whole school and get extra credit with my teachers and with Lilith. And maybe some recognition from my parents. If I fail, then I will bring shame to the Blight name and cause chaos for the whole town and everyone will think I am pathetic. If people see my fears… they will think I am pathetic anyway…’ Her weak attempts at optimism give way to panic as she spirals into what revealing her fears to the whole school could cause.
She is so lost in thought she doesn’t notice she isn’t the only one walking in this part of the woods until she is startled by a warrior cry and knocked to the ground. In the mud. Perfect.
“Oh my gosh, Amity!” And of course it’s Luz (why couldn’t I find her when I wanted to and now that everything sucks I keep running into her?). She apologizes profusely and holds her hands out to Amity. Amity accepts the help, slipping and sliding in the mud.
“And here I thought this day,” Amity’s breath catches a moment as she is pulled nose to nose into Luz. She pulls away, hating that Luz is seeing her like this. “couldn’t get any worse.” She sits on a nearby stump. A moment later she hears Luz plop herself in the mud and she can’t help but feel her heart lighten that the girl would voluntarily share in her misery. Despite that Amity can’t bring herself to face the human.
“Did you talk to Bump?” Luz said hopefully and Amity sighed. She had actually tried to ask to back out and got a resounding ‘no.’
“I am Grom Queen,” Amity said resigned to her fate. “Unless I can find a replacement.” ‘not that anyone would.’
“I would,” came an unusually serious voice from Luz. Thinking she misheard, Amity looked over.
“Amity Blight! I’ll do it! I’ll take your place and face Grom in the arena and be your champion!” Amity would have blushed at the declaration but was distracted by the large spider on Luz’s head, which sent the human into a panic when she noticed. ‘An honorable gesture but I’m not sure she can do it…’
The next day after school, Amity brings her siblings over to the Owl House (who were too thrilled by the task to need bribing to come) to help Luz prepare for tonight. She walks up to Luz’s room after a disturbing encounter with the house’s defensive measures ‘Hooty’ and finds her pulling out clothes from a trunk.
“What should I wear to grom?” she says cheerfully and Amity has a moment where she imagines Luz wearing the options before shaking her head.
“Luz! You need to take this seriously!”
She pulls Luz away from the clothes and they meet her siblings outside.
“Alright Luz. What are you afraid of?” Amity says like a drill sergeant. Luz says some things and Edric and Emira conjure them with their illusion magic.
It doesn’t really go well. Amity can tell these fears are just tiny surface fears. But maybe it will be ok. Maybe Luz doesn’t have big terrifying fears. Amity holds onto that hope as they part to meet up again at the dance.
The party begins. The music is pretty good for a school dance. Willow is using her magic to create corsages and boutonnières (Amity debates if she could ask for one or if it would be too awkward) and the twins headed to the punch bowl like they had a prank up their sleeve. Amity herself is too anxious to enjoy the music. Her dress was something her mom had picked out and though to a degree she wished she could have chosen what to wear for herself, it was one less thing to think about tonight. That stupid gromposal was still with her. Her mom had nearly spotted it when she came to check in on her daughter so Amity had stuffed the note into her dress pocket in a panic.
She stepped outside the gym, wondering where Luz was and pulled out the note. The edges where it was folded were growing warn from all the times Amity had touched it, pulled it out and stuffed it back away in the last couple days. ‘I’m not Grom Queen anymore. I could just do it.’
She saw a shadow and hid the note behind her back.
“I’m not sure if it’s nerves or if I accidentally drank some milk. But something is making my stomach squirm.” It was Luz wearing a tux, skirt combo that worked surprisingly well and her hair was slicked back.
“You look…nice,” Amity said in awe, though there was a different adjective she wanted to use. “Strange, but nice.”
She took a step closer and held the human’s shoulders. “Thank you, Luz. Honestly, I’m kinda amazed with how fearless you are.” ‘And how I wish I could be’ Amity thought, very aware of the note burning a hole in her pocket. “You have done things I could never do…” Amity glanced down at Luz’s lips for a moment at those words and they curled into a smile.
“Yeah right!” Luz smirked. “You going soft on me Blight?” Amity laughed at the banter, loving how natural this all felt. Maybe tonight would go just fine.
“In your dreams.”
Of course then, Gus had to announce the start of the fight. Luz turned to her with a smile to hide her nerves.
“Wish me luck!” Amity couldn’t return even a fake smile.
“Luck,” she whispered, her face drawn in worry.
The challenge went alright. For like 3 minutes. And now Luz was running away from… her mom apparently and this was all Amity’s fault. She knew Luz was unprepared, she had no idea what she was in for. This was Amity‘s fight. She summoned an abomination and raced after Luz.
Luz cowered on the edge of the cliff outside the school grounds, the abomination vaulted her thought the trees and Amity planted herself like a shield in front of Luz. ‘my turn to be your champion.’
“Stay away from her!” Amity told the inky shape but it just grabbed her and held her aloft, too tight to try to draw a summoning circle. She looked back to Luz.
“I’m sorry, Luz. I should have fought my own battle. I…” Amity was cut off as Grom poured through her mind. Finding what she was most afraid of right now.
Luz stood before her. Hearing the rustle of paper, Amity looked down and that stupid magenta note, was being taken from her pocket. With a sneer, Luz ripped it, crumpled the halves and let them fall to the ground. Amity tried not to cry. ‘This isn’t really. Luz hasn’t really rejected me…yet.’
The beast retreated and Amity took half the note and held it close. She couldn’t look as the real Luz came over and picked up the other half. Amity didn’t move to stop her as she unfurled the crushed paper.
“You were afraid of being rejected,” Luz said with surprise and understanding. “Amity… It’s ok,” Amity raised her eyes to meet Luz’s kind ones. “What if I went to Grom with you instead?”
‘Could this really be happening? All this fear and I didn’t even ask her myself…’ Amity’s chest filled with warmth.
“Really?” After everything she almost expected it to be a lie but this was Luz.
“That’s what friends do!” Luz said with a big smile and Amity returned it.
Grometheus decides to return then, huge and bellows an inhuman cry. Determined, Amity stands her ground, no longer afraid if Luz will be at her side.
