I often hear huntlow fans say that one of the reasons they like that particular ship so much is because, in popular media, it's actually quite rare to see plus-sized girls being framed as attractive or desirible romantic partners for other characters; and that, in fact, 'fat girl + skinny boy' pairings are so rare, they're basically non-existent in popular media! This is, of course, very much fair and valid, it's not hard to imagine how seeing more relationships like this represented on screen goes a long way towards dismantling all sorts of weird long-standing societal attitudes towards beauty, bodies, gender etc etc.
BUT.
Did you know, The Owl House actually has another CRIMINALLY UNDERAPPRECIATED big girl + skinny boy pairing that might potentially be as, if not MORE compelling than huntlow?
Bold claim, I know but don't scroll away yet, just hear me out...

Now THIS here, this is what we in the biz call a Diversity Win!
Look at the size ratio between these 2 lovebirds, easily the biggest one I've seen since the day I first learned about anglerfish mating. BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, MAGICAL union between this charmingly disgusting stickman-shaped bug boy and this mysteriously shy small-scale proof-of-concept steampunk evangelion unit prototype girl!
And hey, guess what? They Have CHEMISTRY. What kind of chemistry you may ask? Well... let me tell you about this one particular type of chemical reaction called "nuclear fission". Picture this, a tiny but eager little brown-haired neutron, one of the smallest things measurable with current day scientific equipment, is rapidly approaching a lonely and often-misunderstood atom of Uranium-235. Mesmerised by its complex and hypnotic atomic structure as he gets closer and closer, in the final few pico-seconds before the inevitable high-speed collision the marker-mustached atom finally understands what the phrase "Love at first sight" means. And now, there it is... The Chemistry is Finally Happening. What's it like? Well, to them it felt like the warmest of a lover's embraces as this particular chemical reaction is know to release up to 320 million kilojoules of pure energy, the purest form of energy, in fact, you might've already heard of it, it's called LOVE...
In conclusion: matthrok OTP!!!

btw I think the Mattholomule x Roka ship name should be "MatthRok", pronounced just like 'Math Rock', the music genre but spelled differently. And it even has a reverse double meaning because Mattholomule can do rock magic and Roka, who is a robot, is programmed with math.
No other ship name ever had LAYERS like that and I deserve literally a nobel prize for coming up with it.
