Timeskip Amity and Luz from The Owl House, smiling nose to nose and holding a rainbow pride flag around their shoulders. Amity is wearing a black crop top that reads Be Gay, Do Witchcraft. Luz’s purple baseball tee reads: Us Weirdos have to stick Together — the font colored like several different pride flags. Her white shoes have writing on them including Pride was a Riot, Stomp out Fascism, We are all Immigrants, and Trans rights are human rights. She’s also wearing a nonbinary bracelet, a fanny pack with a Dominican Republic pride flag, a bi pin, and a bi colored visor. Amity has rainbow colored hair, a lesbian flag in her pocket, pink heart eye sunglasses, and a trans pin that says “protect trans kids” They’re surrounded by colorful confetti and glitter.

I still cannot believe I got the chance to work on such an incredibly special show 🥹 Lemme rant for a sec:
There’s so much more to The Owl House than just Lumity, but watching these girlfriends fall in love in canon really touched my life and the lives of so many queer kids around the world. I was so honored to play a small part in Luz’s coming out story and her relationship with Amity.
I’ve visited middle schools, high schools, and colleges around the US where I spoke to classrooms about my job on TOH, and so many kids told me how much this show meant to them as young queers, artists, and neurodivergent weirdos. We need to be supporting those kids and their futures now more than ever.
Nobody can diminish your light 🌈
Queer rights are human rights. Joy and Pride is resistance. Expression and Nonconformity are threats to power. So is Humor, and Art, and Love, and Community— all precious as they are vital, especially in times like these.
Trans rights are human rights— the right to privacy, autonomy, and deciding what’s best for our bodies is between us and our doctors, not our governments. Anti-trans laws reflect fascist ideals, the lavender scare, and racist segregation throughout history.
Immigrant Rights are human rights— the rights to travel, seek asylum, build a life for yourself, share your culture with others. Immigrants are a disruption to an ethnostate.
Heroes and Villains from The Owl House, though fictional, represent and embody these very real concepts from our world. And that’s just part of the reason why this show genuinely resonates with me and so many people.
Ok enough rambling from me, I hope you enjoy the art and please stay safe out there ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷
It’s still Pride Month in the Boiling Isles 🌈
