Femslash February Challenge: Day 26
Feb. 26th, 2021 07:46 pmDay 26 of female-centered stories with canon wlws!
The Owl House by Dana Terrace
Length: For now, only one season of 19 24-minutes episode. There will be more.
Happy ending or not? Not finished yet, but it looks like it.
Who is the wlw? ( Read more... )
Is there other representation? Luz is latina, her best friends at witch school are Gus, who is black, and Willow, who is asian and fat.
Warnings? Nothing big, it's a kid cartoon. The authoritarian violence, the body horror and the bullying are not written on an overtly dark and desperate way. They're still here.
What about the plot? Luz is a girl from our world who likes fantasy books a bit too much. Her mother wants her to go to a summer camp to relearn about reality. But instead she passes a portal and finds herself in a real fantasy universe.
Luz becomes the apprentice of Eda Clawthorne, the "Owl Witch", notorious con artist with a good heart (sometimes). She also really wants to go to magic school, because there's one, even if she has no magical powers.
How good it is? I find it absolutely charming. At the beginning, I wasn't sure where it was going, between the magic school tropes and the Eda plot, sometimes a bit lost between first and second degree too, but finally, it mixes well!
