Analysing the Lumity Blush Scene

If you’ve seen the recent teaser and hyperventilated at the Lumity scene as much as I did. Time to hyperventilate some more! I just have to get some thoughts out here…

I’m revising the implications of the scene frame by frame and actually try to understand what’s going on here.

It could be completely out-of-context, which yes, it is. But these initial shots themselves make it quite easy to breakdown what’s exactly going on in Luz’s head when she blushes.

From the looks of it, Luz being the bubbly and touchy person she is, takes Amity’s hand. At first, with purely platonic and friendly intentions. Because Luz has conveyed her platonic affection through touches in the past: with Willow, Gus, Eda and King. Thus, there’s not really any difference in her facial expression initially. 

Then we have little miss perfect Amity Blight, who isn’t used to being touched at all. And in the past, she’s always reacted strongly to them, depending how she feels about the person/in the situation. Whenever Edric and Emira teasingly touch her and call her ‘little sis’and all that, she strongly pushes away their advances because of the pure embarrassment and sibling-like annoyance of the situation. However, with Luz here, who we very well know she’s romantically interested in, she reacts to her touches in a flustered way. Ever since Grom, Amity has been flustered around Luz more than usual, but she reacts even more strongly when she touches her. Similarly, in this situation, the hand touch that ability to become flustered due to her romantic interest in Luz.

Not to mention, physical touch is one of Amity’s more prominent love languages. 

Interesting to note that Luz’s smile vanishes when Amity makes eye-contact. For the first time in forever, Luz actually notices how flustered and red Amity is. 

Why hasn’t she noticed previously? 

There are several reasons for that.

One of them Dana actually confirmed and clarified through her Reddit AMA last year:

Luz is going through a lot. So, I can see why Amity’s feelings would be hard to read for her. She’s in a completely new world: trying to fit in, understand and learn things so obviously most of her focus lies elsewhere. Mainly why she missed most of the obvious crush signs in S1.

But…she’s going through even more in S2: trying to get home, dealing with Lilith and Eda’s curse, the Emperor being after them, etc. And I don’t think this is the only reason. It’s situation that counts to.

Most of the times when Amity’s blushing because of her advances, Luz either misses it or there’s other people around too and her mind’s distracted by other things.

For example, in Understanding Willow, Luz doesn’t even realise that Amity’s flustered. She’s too excited by what they’ve accomplished to notice and SHE’S NOT EVEN LOOKING. Her eyes are closed, for god sake. 

In Wing It Like Witches, she was a lot more focused on helping Willow to notice either, that she was making Amity flustered.

The first time, Amity stammers, Luz doesn’t think much of it. Which I do get. 

She does seem surprised. Because Amity’s never really acted like this before. But she simply doesn’t choose to question it. Because like I said, it’s the first time Amity got this flustered. And Luz can’t find any reason to why Amity would be acting like that. Besides, she needs to focus on helping Willow anyhow. So, she chooses to remain oblivious. 

On this occasion, Luz perceives Amity’s fluster as surprise. Which makes sense, as Luz was completely leaning into Amity’s personal space, and it completely caught Amity off-guard. Of course, we all know that Amity’s exaggerated reaction was mainly because of her crush. But to Luz, her friend was surprised because she was leaning a bit too close-scarily close even-that’s why she apologises after. Failing to make the crush connection again.

The last situation is here. Where Amity crazily stammers and gets flustered. The simple reason to why Luz didn’t make the connection here is because she was too focused on Amity’s leg injury to notice. She was more concerned for Amity to notice her fluster. Also, in this situation, Amity stammering and blushing after Luz asked to carry her, could be perceived as the modest “oh no, you don’t have to do that! I’m fine!”. Rather than gay panic. Willow totally knows.

But this situation. This one is different to the rest. 

The way this is panned out, you can’t peg her fluster elsewhere. 

They’re alone. They’re directly facing each other. It’s a casual gesture and situation. Luz can clearly see Amity’s body language.

When Amity directly looks at her with that red face, it becomes obvious that Amity’s flustered by her. By Luz.

Amity was fine before. She was fine. But then Luz grabs her hand, and Amity so obviously looks at their entwined hands and blushes, directly meeting Luz’s eyes with her red face. There’s nowhere to run. No alternate reason to connect it to. Luz’s eyes were on Amity the entire time. She saw it all. 

The eye-contact is so key at the end. If Amity didn’t meet Luz’s eyes and blushed, Luz would have noticed it but she wouldn’t have immediately made the connection that Amity was blushing at her.

But by looking at her directly, Amity straight-up confirms it. It’s intimate enough to make Luz realise.

It comes as a surprise to Luz. It comes completely as a surprise as she held her hand with platonic intentions.

But yeah…it hits Luz Noceda so strongly that she’s blushing herself. Why? Because Amity Blight was blushing because of her and there is nothing that can disprove that.

Watch No Good Nick

All right, every single post I’ve seen for No Good Nick where people are like “why is everyone sleeping on this show???” is always started with “I’m not gonna give spoilers, but you should watch this show.” 

No, nope, no no no. There are some “spoilers” people NEED to watch a show. I’m not just gonna watch something cause someone told me to. 

So here are spoilers without actual spoilers: 

Nick is a foster kid (13 at the start of the show) and also a con artist who goes to live with the Thompson family. The Thompson’s unknowingly ruined her whole life, and she desperately wants to get revenge on them, so she has her foster parents (also con artists, running a foster care con-ring) forge papers and documents to make the Thompson’s think that she’s related to the father. She claims her parents died in a crash and that the Thompson’s are the closest living family she has, so they take her in.

For the first season, we don’t know what the Thompson’s have done, but we know that it’s bad. Nick is pulling a double scam - her foster parents think she’s prepping an inside job to make them millions, but she’s working primarily for herself and for revenge. 

The show focuses on family, on friendship, and on trust, and even though it’s labelled as a comedy, it can get VERY dark and deep sometimes. There’s several scenes where the faults of the foster care system are brought up that moved me to tears. 

Some basic spoilers without spoilers: 

- There’s gay rep, and it’s BEAUTIFUL. No one is cruel, there’s absolutely zero homophobia, just acceptance, and there are no (cruel) outings (just a funny one that turns heartfelt). The gay rep IS a main character, and part two has their coming out as an overarching side plot. Also, there’s a recurring character who’s played by a trans actress and I love her.

- The flashback episode to explain what the Thompson’s did to Nick WILL make you hate them, but by the time they show it, you’ve grown to love them so much that you’re confused, which is exactly how Nick is portrayed as - confused because she loves them, but still pissed about what they did. It was very cleverly done. 

- Jerry Trainor guest stars frequently and it’s like if Spencer from iCarly was on drugs (he dabbed AND yeeted). I love him

- Every person in the show learns a lesson at some point or another, not just Nick. Everyone grows and matures by the end of the second part, coming together more as a family. The parallels between the first episode and the last episode are wild. 

- The show also delves a lot into the found family trope (the whole SHOW is basically the found family trope), and I know y’all are suckers for that shit because so am I. 

- The character dynamics flip dramatically from Part One to Part Two, specifically with the siblings (Jeremy and Molly) and Nick, and it makes watching it so much more fascinating. 

So if you wanted ACTUAL reasons to watch this show (and please do, because I desperately want a second season/third part, and we all know how Netflix is), or a better, more in depth synopsis of it, here you go! (Also if you have more questions pls ask me I could rave about this show for ages lmao)

lesbian culture is keeping a mental list of girls you admire and knowing that you could unexpectedly fall for any of them at any time
