this is just beautiful
posted this on twitter (@edaclaw) but in hopes that amy will catch it i’m dropping it here too! thank you so much for the wonderful year <3
for the first time ao3 has failed me in the department
Me checking Eda x Reader fanfics everyday
Happy Luznes to my best girl Luz! I’m so happy to finally have a latina character that i feel i can really relate to. Everybody better appreciate this queen.
Real life Luz anyone? 👀
(I’m new to realism so if you’ve got any tips let me know!)
my favorite boyyyyyyyyy
so so true i literally thought amity was the main until i sat down and watched the show which is upsetting because if i had known a queer brown latina like myself was the central character i wouldve watched it much sooner. it also just bothers me that most of time when luz is talked about its in relation to amity and the lumity ship overshadows literally anything else in the fandom which sucks lmao at least its just a fandom problem and the show handles its charaters of color really well imo
Ok so for those of you who don’t have Twitter
The TOH fandom has a big problem with white favoritism. It needs to be brought up and talked about. First, a lot of actual POC are drowned out or ignored or don’t recieve enough acknowledgement. Then there’s the characters. A lot of people are coming in not knowing that Luz, an Afro-Latina female who is bisexual, is the main character because there’s so much about Amity. Gus and Willow are also extremely underrated and overshadowed because of characters that appeared for like one episode, said characters being white. Same with background characters. Everyone goes crazy over Boscha but no one talks about Skara or Kat. Then there’s the problem of Luz and Willows’ parents being called abusive for just trying to help their kids and for wanting what’s best while the Blights (actual abusers) have a lot of posts about them because everyone started dumping over them despite how they treat Amity. Someone else pointed out how Camilia is rarely ever drawn aside from being shipped with a white woman (Eda). Also it’s really kind of sad, for me personally, to finally see a Hispanic main character who’s bi get pushed aside, especially during both Bisexual Awareness Week and Hispanic Heritage Month.
Look guys, I get that we all love and miss Gravity Falls and the fact that Alex is so closely involved in The Owl House makes jokes about Eda being Stan's ex or King being a reincarnated Bill fun, but can we please acknowledge that these are jokes? Bill Cipher is not actually going to show up. Eda is not going to reminicise on the time she swindled Stan Pines out of all of his valuables by marrying and divorcing him over the course of six hours. Belos' portal is not the same as Bill's.
Gravity Falls was amazing, but it's over now, and The Owl House (and Dana Terrace) deserve more than for us to just regard it as a spinoff of her boyfriend's old cartoon.
goodbye unus annus. memento mori.
legend of korra walked so she-ra could run so the owl house could fucking sonic dash at the speed of light
I never understood why people would say oh this character could step on me and I’d thank them until The Owl House
So EDA IF YOURE OUT THERE
