Lumity

Lumity is the juggernaut femslash canon pairing of Luz Noceda and Amity Blight in The Owl House fandom. The ship is well known within sapphic fandom, and is one of the biggest f/f pairings on AO3, being the fourth most popular according to centrumlumina's AO3 Ship Stats 2023, at over 10,000 fanworks.
The pair are Rivals to Lovers, with the two's canon pining fueling fanworks pre-relationship. Fluff is common, likely due to their reputation for cuteness, and the younger age skew of the fandom.
Lumity resides alongside other iconic Western animated sapphic ships such as Korrasami, Rupphire, and Bubbline, and is often compared and contrasted with many of them. In particular, there appears to be some gay migration between Lumity and Catradora due to the timing of SPOP's ending and The Owl House gaining traction.
==Canon==
Luz, a human from the human realm, and Amity, a witch, are both students at Hexside Academy. Their relationship begins antagonistically, but warms once Amity sees Luz's efforts to learn magic. This later develops into Amity having a crush on Luz and her greatest fear that the Grom monster manifests is Luz rejecting her. Luz appeared wholly unaware of this crush, until the season 2 episode "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door" brought the pair officially together.

Lumity is the predominant ship in the Owl House fandom. While they were shipped soon after Amity was introduced in the show, Lumity generated much more interest when promotion pictures were released for an upcoming episode "Enchanting Grom Fright", a prom theme episode that showed Luz and Amity together in formal wear. After Molly Knox Ostertag revealed she had written the episodeTweet from @MollyOstertag. Posted 28 July 2020. Accessed 11 Nov 2020. comparisons began between Grom and Princess Prom (an episode of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which Ostertag's wife ND Stevenson produced). This in turn created some fan migration from the recently ended She-Ra fandom, where Catradora was made canon, to Lumity and the Owl House. Grom also brought about several organized efforts to get #Lumity, #Grom and The Owl House trending on Twitter.Tweet from @HeyRebeccaRose. Posted 6 Aug 2020. Accessed 11 Nov 2020.
Fans have noted the parallels between Lumity and Diakko from Little Witch Academia as both pairings involve teen witches attending a magic school, one being top of their class while the other starts with little aptitude for magic, and the two eventually moving past their rivalry to become friends.The Owl House /// Little Witch Academia Parallels
Fanworks for the ship are extremely animatic heavy, and there seems to be a preference in love songs that are acoustic, ukulele, or in the style of showtunes. Animatics are often Amity-focused. Besides animatics, there are 11,693 Amity Blight/Luz Noceda fanfics on Archive of Our Own as of January 2024."Amity Blight/Luz Noceda" on Archive of Our Own
After it was revealed that Luz lived in Connecticut in the human world, several edits of Luz and Amity in the place of Connecticut Clark and Malfina respectively began to emerge, the latter characters having been created in a short comic popular on Tumblr.
===Little Miss Perfect and Ordinary===
Lumity fans have latched on to various songs to represent Lumity, many of which are frequently used in vids, fancams and animatics. The most notable instance of this was when Little Miss Perfect,LITTLE MISS PERFECT. Posted 29 Sept 2019. Accessed 11 Nov 2020. covered by Taylor Louderman for Write Out Loud, became the "Lumity anthem."Tumblr post (dead link) by katrinci: "The song is “Little Miss Perfect” but c’mon we all know that- it’s pretty much the fandom’s anthem." Outside of vids, Little Miss Perfect became something of a meme within the community, with fans often quoting lyrics on Lumity or Amity related posts.Tweet from @enbysoap. Posted 31 July 2020. Accessed 11 Nov 2020. Dead link.Tweet from @TheArtByAsher. Posted 14 Aug 2020. Accessed 11 Nov 2020.Tweet from @sapphicotropico. Posted 25 Aug 2020. Accessed 11 Nov 2020. The fansong "Just Friends" by Meelz (feat. Koa & Melody Snowflake VA) has the phrase "little miss perfect" as a lyric, and references other lyrics from Little Miss Perfect and Ordinary later in the song.
The Owl House fandom's frequent use of the song and frequent calls for a song from Luz's POV prompted the composer and lyricist of Little Miss Perfect, Joriah Kwame to write a sequel song titled Ordinary.ORDINARY (Little Miss Perfect Sequel) lyric video. Posted 7 Sept 2020. Accessed 11 Nov 2020.
The voice actor of Hooty (Alex Hirch) sang a part of Little Miss Perfect as Hooty, and fans made an animatic of it.Hooty Sings “Little Miss Perfect” - Owl House Animatic, YouTube. Sept 18, 2020 (Accessed/ 3/6/2021)
===Common Tropes===
* Pining - Amity's canon crush on Luz encouraged this trope
* Mundane AU and All Human AU - Some fanfic AUs lean towards popular mundane/human AUs, such as the cast being humans and working in a coffee shop
* Fluff - Likely due to the characters' ages and the chastity of a high-school crush, fanworks tend to lean towards fluff more so than explicit works
* Bed Sharing - Fanworks that depict sleepovers often place Amity and Luz next to one another when they sleep
* Hurt/Comfort - Using the angst between Amity and her parents, Luz finds ways to comfort Amity
* First Kiss - The theme of many Lumity fanfics, and also depicted in several animatics
* Interspecies - Though humanoid, technically Amity is considered a different species than Luz, and sometimes in fanworks this manifests in relation to Luz's round ears
* Enemies to Lovers - Throughout the show we see Luz and Amity's relationship evolve, this is frequently used in fanfics and short comics
* Post-Canon - Fanworks and headcanons about post-canon are common, often involving original kid characters.Tumblr post by turquoisespace35 These kid characters are frequently named Azura.
