Some people on tumblr have commented how fun it is that Willow is the “cool dude” of the relationship and Hunter is the “shy girl next door” and I think it’s beautiful

Willow shielding Hunter during the collector’s appearance... It's rare to find m/f ships that truly feel like an equal exchange of protectiveness/power. It's so fun to see, i love their dynamic.

It's insane how this ship was handled better than Starco and with less screentime

Coming from someone who hasn't watched the Owl House, this ship definitely feels like a fresh take on not just heterosexual relationships but also demonstrates that the dude within said relationship can be the softer malewife character without being outright stupid while the girl can be the one wearing the pants of the relationship without being controlling or apathetic. And I feel like that's important too.

People need to realize that before a love interest Willow was also his first friend. Gus and Willow are his first real friends and they’re his best friends now. So much so that he would crumble if anything happened to either of them. He holds Gus and Willow so close to his heart and as unexpected this turnabout was, it’s very welcome to see a true best friend squad.

Also something you didn't talk about is how Hunter falling in love with Willow is a parallel to Caleb falling in love with Evelyn, who both are witches, something phillip hates, and in a way whisking hunter and caleb away from phillip. Thus showing no matter how much he tried, he can't control or change his brother.

Honestly the pinky hold broke me, somehow it feels sweeter than a full hand hold. It just feels like Willow isn't engulfing him and rushing him into any sort of relationship, but more of a subtle "I'm always here for you" sort of thing. It's too damn cute and my heart is hurting.

I feel like this gets glossed over a lot, but Willow being a plus sized asian girl is INCREDIBLE. Most plus sized asians in shows are reduced to comedic relief, and it's a huge 'taboo' in asian culture to be anything bigger than a size 0 or 1. Seeing how Willow was treated with respect in the Owl House with her writing, ESPECIALLY when it came to Huntlow, has made me cry on more than one occasion. I really wish I had Willow as a character growing up, it would have changed a lot for me.

I’m sorry you calling the Owl Gang, “Eda’s Orphanage” broke me 😭

Really like how they handled Gus in the HuntLow dynamic. He's got his own relationship to both Hunter and Willow, but he also works with both of them on screen without feeling like a third wheel. The whole Owl Gang has each other's back, but for whatever reason, these three feel like their the tightest knit of the bunch.

I feel people need to know that Willow is actually currently 15. At the beginning of the show, Willow was 14 yes, but on a picture it shows her with her plant track suit (which we have seen her change WHILE the show was going on) on her birthday which confirms she's actually 15, and it has also been said on a Q&A live. So it's actually a 1 year gap. But I guess there will always be people complaining about their ages, when it's perfectly fine for a 15 year old to be with a 16 year old.

I think I’m only realizing this now (and I’m normally not the type of person to dwell on this topic) but The Owl House has probably one of the actual best female representations I’ve seen in….anything! Luz: A Latina and canonically BISEXUAL(not gay, bisexual) female lead with a strong character arc throughout the series who’s sexuality and race aren’t treated like as a character plot point. Amity: Luzs rival turned love interest who also has a strong character arc that isn’t treated like the generic gay love interest shoehorned into a Disney property as representation check list Lumity: an actual respectful LGBT couple that again doesn’t feel like a representation check list(that actually lasts longer than a scene and a half) Willow: a plus sized nerdy girl that could’ve easily been just the token plus sized comic relief best friend/sidekick but as has character growth about her growing out of her shell, whose weight/size has never been treated like a punchline and has a genuinely cute ship with Hunter(which is mutual and canon❤🥰) who isn’t another comic relief character Active, prominent middle aged women in Eda, Lilith and Luzs mother Camilla whose age isn’t treated as a joke and know how to kick asses despite their ages. Camilla: said mother who isn’t dead or relegated to the background who actually contributes to the central characters in the third act and acts as mother figures for them by giving them love and sanctuary and again knows how to kick ass. Again I wouldn’t be dwelling on this if Hollywood and especially Disney hasn’t been on this female empowerment preachy high horse for the past couple of years

...i honestly did not know it was controversial. the ship seemed so natural and wholesome. i did not see it coming at first, but man i love huntlow now

What I like about Hunter x Willow the most is that they really seem to understand each other because they’ve been in their shoes before. They know exactly how it feels to be considered less than their peers and they heavily relate with one another. This pairing is way more than just another “good girl” gets with “bad boy” or “bad but sad boy” in Hunter’s case. Like Lumity, it’s two kids adorably falling in love because of how much they have in common and it’s plainly obvious how much they mean to one another.

I had heard that this ship was controversial online so I watched the new season expecting it to be cringey or poorly written, but instead I just found myself constantly going “Aww” or even tearing up at their cute interactions. They’re honestly really cute

Willow’s character growth over the series is unbelievable. She went from being a wallflower to being one of the most badass kids in the Boiling Isles.

I love just how as soon as Hunter saw Willow being in a very vulnerable state and that she was in danger of potentially maybe losing herself, he swoops in to save her and I'm not just talking about the vines. But he is also willing to be vulnerable for her sake because he really really cares about her, and him just being, "you didn't make anything worse, you didn't do anything wrong!" And just that he is pleading her to not be so negative with herself and let the one thing that makes her feel worthless the most and is the one thing that really hurts her the most, and he's like telling her that she is the best thing ever to happen to him and that she shouldn't feel like she is worthless when she Is NOT whatsoever, is just really cute how concerned he feels about her.

Worth noting that the major episodes Hunter has with each member of the Hexsquad are: Hunting Palisman - Luz Eclipse Lake - Amity A Sport in a Storm - Willow Labyrinth Runners - Gus ...and those spell out HEAL. Probably unintentional, but who knows?

I would also like to mention, the contrast that willow and hunter have is amazing. Hunter is someone who has been forced his entire life to be strong and wants a turn being vulnerable, while willow has spent her entire life forced to be weak and wants to be strong creates such a sweet dynamic
