ALRIGHT DAN AND PHIL LISTEN THE FUCK UP!!!! As we have observed in today's video, Dalien did not enjoy flirting, or at the very least was bad at it. It's a sign, dumbies!!! DALIEN IS AROACE 🗣🗣 I instead offer that rather than romancing Cassandra goth, the two just be flat out raging enemies. No tension, just pure hatred and violence. I'm talking they LIVE to spite one another in every capacity. That way, dalien can have an entertaining plot that is not centered around a romantic partner. At least ONE of the Howlters should be a messy dramatic bitch, and I personally think dalien would fulfill that role beautifully. Just picture it: bitchy emo cheerlearding alien, his wee dog, and his popular jock friend thats friendly with everyone. It's perfect no further questions.

not sure if this'll be coherent but it's crazy to me how the teenage phil of the past who was writing homoerotic spike/oz fanfiction was not only in the past of our phil now - but was also in the past of phil in 2018, and phil in 2016, and phil in 2014 etc. youthful m/m vampire wolf writer phil was already a part of him in all those eras and versions, even though in my mind, this lore seems to only perfectly fit him now, and thinking it didn't just pop into existence in 2024 is making me recalibrate all my impressions of him before. is this anything? i'm not sure. this is probably something about our perceptions of people and how our life arcs eventually become circles and how true-ness can't stay down forever and stuff. anyway i'm happy phil found his way back to the carefree joy of being a teenager writing gay fic for himself. end monologue!

phil is a genius at marketing bc he realised that if he turned sponsor segments into saw traps it would compel people to watch. and it's working. every time a segue makes dan look like he wants to die i am enthralled

Fascinating to me how in the pilot, Luz found the Boiling Isles because of AMITY... Because she's trying to return this exchange student's passport to her. She chases a bus on foot the entire way just to repay her kindness. And so she follows her through the door.

I think the final version works just as well, considering it emphasizes Luz's connection to Eda and King, as well as her relationship with her mother. But there's also something special about how in the pilot, Luz's pretty obvious crush, and hopes of finding a friend in someone who unwittingly showed her kindness (though she doesn't realize it was unintentional) is what leads her into the Boiling Isles. It's what begins everything, it's what starts her journey and helps her find the place and people where she belongs.

There's just kind of a parallel between Luz trying to return the passport, and Luz wanting to hold onto the book, her father's last gift to her representing their mutual weirdness and kinship with one another. And the crush vibes are so much more explicit and present from the start, it's like the queer aspect of Luz and the show is intertwined, since the beginning, since the very inciting incident, with the weirdness of our cast and their found family dynamics and everything. Like you can't discuss the weirdness without mentioning the queerness, without acknowledging it as just as much the foundation to the story and Luz.

Plus there's Amity rejecting the drawing from Luz, only for it to be appreciated by Eda unknowingly... Once again, someone, unwittingly, is kind to Luz. But in this case Eda is more explicit about encouraging and welcoming Luz, and it makes me wonder if Amity necessarily dismissed the drawing as much, or only did so because she was around her peers? She's much more of a traditional, popular girl prep in the pilot. But then she DOES throw away the drawing, and her seeing Luz later could represent the shift in attitude, her reconsideration.

It's just. You have the mother figure. You have the love interest. And they bring and affirm Luz's ties to the Boiling Isles respectively. Luz doesn't get the approval she was initially looking for, but her quest for it leads her to find approval from someone else; And obviously, her chances with Amity aren't entirely off of the table! Her girlfriend brought her here. She lit up Luz's life in a way, as the final version had Luz barge into Amity's life and light up hers without meaning to.

Plus Eda not being the friend Luz expected or was looking for -they cross paths by pure coincidence- but being the one she truly starts off with in the end. Like how in the final show Luz doesn't quite get what she's looking for, but she finds something else just as great and beautiful. Luz braces herself to be mocked through her drawing by Eda only to be supported and encouraged! All three of these characters are cut from the same cloth, tied together. I love it.
