When I think about Amity flinching when Luz showed her human rain, I think about the fact that the first time she experienced it, she looked like she was dissociating. Like she might have not even registered the first rain experience due to a trauma response to the day’s events.
On this episode of, Alex over analyzes TOH: Its the way Amity and Hunter don’t look shocked to see the Collector physically cowering in fear of punishment, unlike Willow and Gus. Its that momentary look of quiet understanding that makes Amity reaching out that much more powerful.
On this episode of, Alex over analyzes TOH: Theres something exceptionally heinous about Amity being forced to dye her hair when concealment stones exist. Like, with concealment stones, theres some reprieve at the end of the day when you take it off. You don’t get that with dye.
People really like, “Odalia was the main abusive parent! She forced Alador!”and completely ignore the fact that my guy was fine watching his daughter demo the literal war machine he made. Nevermind the fact she was legit ready to square up and fight until her mom said not to 🙃🫠
I feel like we don’t talk about how much mental strength this right here took. Like, not only did Amity figure it out but by sheer force of will she managed to scratch out a light glyph despite being turned into a seemingly inanimate object??
Sometimes I think about the fact that staying with Camila was the first time Vee, Hunter, and Amity got to experience living in a safe home with a loving and attentive parental figure who would never purposely hurt them. Like, I wonder if the three of them ever talked about it.
Her whole life her parents taught her Blights aren’t supposed to show weakness, and now when she really needs to be strong to save the people she loves, she’s exhausted and weak. But instead of being met with anger or hurt, she’s met with kindness and Camila helps her up.
OKAY! Without further delay, some notes from Saturday’s TOH panel at SacAnime.
Nothing new was said regarding any future content ofc but there were some tidbits I thought were fun!
#TOHSPOILERS
Okay but like, can we talk about Amity going from having no real mom (or real parents in general for that matter, I will fight an Alador apologist, try me 😂 /hj) to having two amazing moms who love her very, very much 🥺❤️✨
No, because you know what gets me most? The fact that in the last minute uwu-fication of Alador in Reaching Out, in contrast to Manny’s passing, we got hella bad takes of “well, at least Amity’s dad is alive and is trying!” while turning a blind eye to all the past abuse/neglect.
have the writers ruined your fav angsty character by making them “boring” and “not cool anymore” or have they just started to heal from their trauma? are they “losing their edge” and “acting out of character” or are they just actually happy now?
Happy Mother’s Day to the mom Amity actually deserved 😌✨
Also I love the third screenshot here cos out of context, it looks like Lilith is worriedly fussing over Amity who is just like, “Mommmm… I’m fine! It’s just a little scratch. I’m good, I promise!”
#TOHSPOILERS
Okay but after making a whole ass AU about Lilith adopting Amity in lieu of them never interacting after the covention, this scene at the end literally healed my soul like, I just know when all was said and done, Lilith stepped up and was the mom ever to Amity 🥺😭
It’s so messed up that Amity worked her ass off in the brawl to the point where she was going to win, only to have Alador take it from her. Like, outside of it being messed up b/c she wanted it to be a bonding point w/ him, it was something she wanted for herself and he took it.
Okay but hear me out, what if the gift was the necklace Amity was always wearing and then Odalia turned around and added the tracking/monitoring oracle spell to it just to add salt to the wound??
1) When asked how the panel thought the Hexsquad would cope with Luz’s death had they known, they said:
- Willow would have killed everything in rampage.
- Hunter would have been like, “now I’m the star of the show!” /lh (but also shed a tear and had a mental break down)
Old BLumity New Year stuff until I finish up the current piece I’m working on 😁
My resolution this year is to make 1 - 2 pieces of art a month. Lets just hope it sticks lol 😂😭💀
Happy New Year, all! 😌✨

Like, while all of the Blight kids were forced to conceal who they were in favor of portraying a perfect image, the twins at least got to see their true self in the mirror at the end of the day - Amity didn’t. Instead, she was forced to deal with the change that was made for her.
Headcanon: she got a lil taller but stayed kinda smol
Also looking at these side by side, I regret not rendering the older design but am far too lazy to fix it loll 🙃
Wanted to get at least one piece in for
@Luminoushane
’s Lumity week!
Prompt - Scars: Luz loves nothing more than to see Amity without her concealment stone in all her natural beauty 😌✨❤️
P.S. I haven’t drawn in hella long so I’m a bit rusty to say the least 😂
And thats the real twisted part of it all. In a world where a truly temporary means of changing one’s appearance exists, Amity was forced to use a more permanent means of change.
Headcanon: Odalia made Amity wear a concealment stone to cover her abuse scars because they represented Amity’s failures which were unbecoming of a Blight.
Belos refused to let Hunter wear a concealment stone because he wanted folks to see what would happen if you crossed him.
Because do you know how much personal growth it took these two to get to this place? Like not even in just the relationship between the two, but as individuals. Like both going from cold, callous, and mistrustful because of the abuse they suffered, to slowly healing from it.
Fic plot I wont get to writing:
Amity and Hunter are cleaning up after dinner. Its relatively quiet and uneventful until Amity breaks a plate causing Hunter to jump at the sound. His sudden reaction catches Camila’s eye who, in turn, wrongly assume he broke the plate.
Bonus) Cissy declared that Mike Socks is the canon name for Lilith’s palisman 😂
Annnnd thats all I got for you, folks! Thanks for reading! 😌✨
/end thread
if you're sad this is a sign to draw your two biggest comfort characters as the steven meme. yeah my ocs my comfort character. yeah my ooak lagoonas my comfort character.
Even then, it would be new hair grown at the mercy of time. And in that way, I think that Amity’s hair, outside of how it was actually used as a mechanism of abuse, is a powerful metaphor for abuse in general because eventho one can heal from it, abuse forever changes a person.
2) When asked who the panel would be friends with from the show irl,
- Mela picked Luz because shes good at friends who have issues.
- Cissy picked Eda because she would get everyone drunk on apple blood.
- Sarah picked Hooty (which was a fun surprise to me lol).
Because even in the case that she were to dye it back, or a different color, or cut it, it could never go back to the way it originally was. The only thing that could return it close to a comparable state would be growing it out and cutting off the dyed part.
3) When asked which of the scrapbook episodes they would have liked to see become a real episode, the panel all agreed on a beach episode.
4) When asked what food from the Boiling Isles they would want to try the most, they all said apple blood which tbh, fr fr 😂
5) When asked about which scene/ep was their personal favorite,
- Mela said her’s was when Kiki was on the phone with her mom.
- Cissy said Agony of a Witch & when Lilith finally accepts that Hooty is her best friend.
- Sarah loved being Titan Luz & Yesterday’s Lie.
Alador and Odalia destroying Amity’s belongings simply because they do not like what they represent (i.e., Amity having any kind of free will or thought outside of what they allow) is a special kind of infuriating. Poor girl can’t have shit smh 😔
Anyway, I think its really cool that Amity ended up getting a twin.
(Yes, I know he is older and they don’t really look like they could be related. No I will not be elaborating)
7) When asked how the characters would have reacted to Luz basically destroying Belos, Cissy said Lilith would have worshiped her.
8) When asked about found family, Melas favorite moment was getting to work with Zeno on the show because they had manifested it years earlier.
9) When asked what coven the panel would be in, they all agreed they would be wild witches/bad girl coven.
10) When asked what character they would hate the most if they met them irl,
- Cissy & Mela picked Belos
- Sarah picked Odalia (which was a pleasant surprise to me lol)
6) When asked what parts of their characters they could relate to,
- Mela said, that part of Kiki where sometimes the people you are around make you feel like/be not your best self. Mela wished that Kiki would have that happiness she has found from finding good people.
- Cissy said not a lot of her is like Lilith aside from being a nerd but Lilith did become closer to her nerdy little heart as the show went on.
- Sarah said there wasn’t a lot of Luz that wasn’t like her and she didn’t resonate with and as such, a lot of her made it into Luz.
I’ve been playing Teal Mask and idk, these designs were just very Lumity coded 🤷🏻♀️
