5 Things I’d Love To See From Lumity In The Owl House Season 2B

I’m ready for a mountain of gay goodness when The Owl House returns later this month.

I recently wrote about how I hope Season 2B of The Owl House doesn’t place a complete focus on Lumity, which would risk putting their queer relationship at the forefront to the detriment of other characters and narrative arcs.

While this belief still rings true, Luz Noceda and Amity Blight’s fledgling romance is something near and dear to my heart, so I’d be both silly and a liar if I said an absence of their queer shenanigans wouldn’t hit me where it hurts. I want to see these two girls continue to discover their sexuality as they navigate their first real romance, figuring out the magnificent ups and bittersweet downs of wanting to share your entire life with someone.

The Owl House only has half a season and three extended specials left until its fantastical story comes to a close, meaning we’ll need to explore a bunch of Sapphic brilliance in a relatively small amount of time moving forward. So, here are five things I’d love to see from Lumity ahead of Season 2B kicking off later this month.

5 – A Date In The Human World

I’ve seen this idea spreading across the fandom for months now, and I can understand why. There is nothing cuter than a character you adore being thrust into a safe yet unfamiliar environment where every person they meet and sensation they feel is completely alien. Luz has spent the majority of two seasons learning about The Boiling Isles and its never ending range of magical oddities, so having the tables turn on Amity as she’s taken to the human world for the first time would be incredible to see.

At the time of writing a concrete way back to the human realm hasn’t been discovered, with Eda’s makeshift portal imploding on itself in the mid-season finale as Luz is once again separated from her mother. Things look bleak right now, but it will only be a matter of time until Luz returns home for real and either has to say farewell to her friends on this side of the universe or perhaps find a way to see them whenever she likes. I hope it’s the latter, because it will open up a chance for Luz to take Amity on a date across her hometown.

She’ll need to hide her pointy ears while confiding in the safety of Luz’s presence as she excitedly shows her partner the things she’s missed since being away while unveiling hobbies and interests she cannot wait to share with someone who accepts her for who she is. Imagine them watching anime together, sharing a milkshake, or even slipping into a cinema to watch a cheesy action flick under the cover of darkness. A scenario like this has so much potential that I’m sure fanfiction has mined it for all it’s worth already, but I’d love to see it become canon when the show returns later this month.

4 – Amity Meeting Luz’s Mother

Luz and her mother didn’t end the midseason finale on good terms. Camila came to learn that Luz has been living in a magical world with a shapeshifting creature taking her place at home. Even worse, Luz accidentally made it clear that she didn’t try to find a way back at first, content to run away from home and leave her single mother behind to piece together a new life away from one she didn’t deem good enough.

Our heroine is on thin ice right now, and perhaps Amity will be an unexpected tool in fixing their troubled relationship. Upon returning to the human realm and their wonderfully cheesy date the duo will turn their attention to more serious matters, which will include reuniting with Camila and beginning to treat old wounds. Amity didn’t steal Luz away by any means, but she’s come to know this girl so much that she’s aware of her most resounding passions and deepest insecurities, learning why she felt so welcome in the Boiling Isles and why in the human world she constantly felt like an outsider. There’s blame on both sides here, and a neutral party might be the perfect way to bring mother and daughter back together.

Amity is also accustomed to a toxic parental situation, with her mother demanding she look and act a certain way in order to uphold her family name. She rebelled and walked away, embracing her love for Luz and growing friendships instead of being defined by her own misery. She knows how much a caring mother would mean to her, so doesn’t want Luz to throw something so valuable away in a foolish act of immaturity. Together they can grow, and it will be rather profound to see Amity see through the emotions of both characters and find an ultimatum that helps everyone heal and embrace love that has long become lost.

3. Their Relationship From The Eyes Of Others

Back in school I can remember growing distant from a couple of friends as they became swept up in short-lived romances. Instead of chatting about random nonsense with you in the school canteen they’d be hanging out behind a tree on the football field smooching and giggling. Their happiness still sickens me, but it’s a situation that is all too common amidst hormonal teenagers trying to figure out who they are.

Amity and Luz will soon be in that painfully lovey-dovey stage of their relationship, a mess of awkward blushes and moonlit walks in the acid rain all on their lonesome. It’s so cute, and we’ve already seen references to their relationship in the presence of other characters and exactly how that might impact them. Eclipse Lake saw Amity, Eda, and King venture into the snowy wastes in search of ingredients that would heal Luz’s unexpected illness, while also coming across valuable ingredients for crafting a makeshift portal. Amity constantly references her relationship with Luz, hoping she can be an “awesome girlfriend” to her partner while expressing a constant paranoia that she might let her down.

It’s so lovely, resulting in stares from the surrounding characters that elicit strong vibes of ‘these witches gay, good for them,’ as the episode progresses both the narrative and explores previously unseen character dynamics. I’d love to see more of this, maybe one portion of an episode could focus on how Willow, Gus, and even Boscha react to Luz and Amity’s relationship as it becomes public knowledge at school and across the town of Bonesborough. Developments like this affect everyone whether we realise it or not.

2. A Glimpse At Everyday Life As A Queer Couple

The Owl House exists in a world without homophobia or LGBTQ+ prejudice. It’s a strong stance for an animated show to take, willing to overlook the bigotry many queer people face in real life in order to depict an idyllic world where everyone feels welcome. I love this approach, but this doesn’t mean some hesitation can’t be expressed from its young characters as they navigate the minefield of a public romance for the very first time.

It’s now clear that Eda, King, and a handful of other characters are aware of Luz and Amity’s status as girlfriends, whether this is made clear through blatant dialogue or more subtle pieces of animation. But they’ve yet to attend school as a couple, or walk the streets of Bonesborough alongside those familiar with the illustrious Blight Family and why their youngest member is holding hands with a human girl. These instances will raise questions, ones that will be fascinating to explore in the context of a full episode or perhaps even several if a cohesive arc can be woven throughout.

Amity’s group of friends – who are typically shown as Mean Girls-esque bullies who adore fashion and gossip – will be perplexed by such a development. Why is their leader suddenly smooching Luz, and why is her hair purple now as she slays throughout the corridors? Boscha especially might have a bone to pick with this new revelation, curious why her best friend has been acting strange and changing so much in recent weeks. I think she’s a good person deep down, and not a Grudgby-slinging bully who thinks she is better than everyone else. If The Owl House dares to explore this dynamic I’ll be over the moon.

1. A Proper Kiss

This one speaks for itself.
