Gus Porter/Relationships

These are the relationships of *Gus Porter* from *The Owl House*.

## Relationships

### Luz Noceda

Being an enthusiast in human culture, Gus was ecstatic to have a friend like Luz. Luz was the one who initially nicknamed him Gus, a nickname he adopted immediately and proudly. He was eager to learn more about human traditions from her, like the high-five or even about human buckets, treating Luz almost like an almighty being. However, Gus did once use his friendship with Luz for his own gain. When his title in the H.A.S. was threatened in "Something Ventured, Someone Framed", he lied to Luz about her school ban out of desperation, which led to them getting into trouble. He later took responsibility for his actions so Luz would not be punished.

In "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", when Luz comes to visit him while giving him various nicknames, he's able to quickly deduce that her reason for stopping by is so that she can borrow his library card in order to visit Amity. He also talks to her about how he is considering looking into other types of magic after having doubts about illusions.

### Willow Park

Gus and Willow are good friends. Willow is one of the few friends Gus hangs out with on a regular basis other than the H.A.S, and he was Willow's only friend at the time before Luz came along. Gus has a close relationship with Willow, as seen in "Wing It Like Witches" when Boscha is picking on Willow and takes her hair clip, Gus snatches it out of her hair and gives it back to Willow. Willow also shows genuine concern when Gus almost gets hurt during the thorn vault and offers to help fix his broken flags. Gus is also seen cheering for her during the grudgby game.

In "Labyrinth Runners", it's revealed that, just like Gus being Willow's only real friend in Hexside before Luz's arrival, Willow was Gus' only friend as well, meeting her after feeling sad over the fact that he was used by one of his classmates that he thought to be his friend. Willow helped Gus regain control over his magic, which had gone out of control and was tormenting him, by teaching him a special breathing her fathers taught her that helped him calm down.

In "For the Future", he helps her let out her stress when she was losing control of her magic.

### Perry Porter

Gus is close with his father, becoming an illusionist at his father's insistence and often joining him in events. When he failed an assignment, Gus thought it would be better to run away then tell his father he failed. After being expelled, Gus feared how his father would react.

After becoming stranded in the Human Realm, Gus drew a picture of his father as motivation to get back home. After talking with Camila about a time he feared disappointing his father, Gus started to cry as Willow comforted him. After Belos is defeated, Gus joyfully reunites with his father.

### Matt Tholomule

Though Gus welcomed Mattholomule to the H.A.S. with open arms, he quickly began to despise him because of his attitude, and when he challenges Gus for his spot as club president and outs his friend, Luz, to the school guards.

In "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", Gus and Mattholomule continue their rivalry while on a quest for the Galdorstones. However, after being pushed around by Bria, Gavin, and Angmar, Mattholomule decides to help Gus scare them away from the ruins, recalling how Gus helped him escape detention and that illusion magic isn't as useless as he thought. Afterwards, Gus asks whether or not the two have become friends, to which Mattholomule responds that he is not sure. While walking away, they jokingly punch each other on the shoulder and laugh, implying that they did become friends.

In "Labyrinth Runners", a photo of Gus and Mattholomule can be seen in Gus' room alongside other photos of his friends, showing that they have grown closer.

### King

Gus doesn't have much interaction with King until "Really Small Problems". In the episode, Gus tries to baby King, much to his annoyance. While struggling to break free, the liquid given by Obvioso to King slips from his pouch and drops to the ground. Some of the liquid from the bottle splashes onto Gus and Willow, making them shrink. Gus is angry at King for making him become smaller, and even calls him a "monster" at one point. Later, King risks his life to save him, Luz and Willow. When King tries to give him and Willow a piece of broken bracelet each as a form of apology, Gus accepts it, saying he always wanted to own a jagged piece of cheap metal.

In "Enchanting Grom Fright", he let King become his co-emcee on Grom night. He becomes concerned when King suddenly runs away from the stage, and has a conversation with him after he finds him outside. He finds out that King has stage fright and encourages him to face his fears. His encouragement boosts King's confidence and makes him go back to continue hosting the show.

In "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", it is shown that Gus convinced King to help him record a greeting on his answering machine.

In "Eclipse Lake", he and King bring music from the basement in preparation for Belos' attack while Luz is sick with the Common Mold.

### Amity Blight

Gus used to dislike Amity, because of her treatment of Willow. However, after Willow makes up with Amity, he considers her one of his friends. Even though he didn't have much interest in "Understanding Willow", Gus shows genuine concern when Amity is voted Grom Queen in "Enchanting Grom Fright", and cheers for her and Luz when they defeat Grom. In "Wing It Like Witches", he and Amity seem to be on much friendlier terms, and he welcomes her into the house along with Luz, Willow, King and Eda.

They are much closer in "Escaping Expulsion", as Amity is sad that he, Luz, and Willow are expelled from Hexside, which is caused by her mother Odalia. He was also the first of their friends that she came to get upon discovering that Luz was in danger. While fighting the Abomaton, she refers to him as her friend.

In "Eclipse Lake", he helps Amity while Luz is sick with the Common Mold.

In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", he gives Amity a book to learn how to speak Spanish. After Amity calls Luz a "sweet potato", he gives her two supportive thumbs up.

### Hunter

Gus first met Hunter "Any Sport in a Storm". Unlike Willow, he didn't seem too fond of the Golden Guard at first and encouraged him to not mess up Willow's efforts to form a flyer derby team. After Hunter almost handed him and the Emerald Entrails to Belos, Gus grows wary of him, especially when he finds a disheveled and outcast Hunter taking refuge in Hexside. However, after the former Golden Guard saves him from Head Illusionist Adrian, Gus begins to grow closer to him, even helping him pull out of a panic attack. When they find Willow in the labyrinth illusion, Hunter saves Gus from the trap, though they get separated thanks to Adrian and a few Coven Scouts. Hunter soon wakes up, and after getting on the school's side, rushes to the gymnasium without hesitation to save his friend from Adrian.

Following the encounter at Hexside, Hunter and Gus grow into good friends. In "King's Tide", Hunter saves Gus from Philip Wittebane after he looks into his memories, during which Gus learns of Hunter's status as a grimwalker.

During their time in the Human Realm, Gus and Hunter bunked together in the basement of the Noceda residence. Gus would express his joy in Hunter feeling happy and the two grew to become fans of *Cosmic Frontier* after finding books and DVDs of the franchise in the basement closet. Gus chose to keep his knowledge of Hunter being a grimwalker to himself, wanting Hunter to confess when he's ready while dropping hints through the *Cosmic Frontier* characters Captain Avery and Chief O'Bailey, who were later cosplayed by Gus and Hunter, respectively. After Hunter was freed from Belos' control he, along with the others, were fearful Hunter would not survive and he is relieved when Hunter wakes up.

### Camila Noceda

Despite only knowing her for a few months, Gus is grateful to Camila for taking him and his friends in. In return, he would cook for her, albeit not to her liking. After finding her *Cosmic Frontier* memorabilia in the basement, he and Hunter followed in her footsteps and became fans of the franchise. When Belos, possessing Hunter, tries to attack Camila, he, Willow, Hunter, and Vee defend her.

When at The Owl House, he and Willow give her advice when she is trying to talk Luz out of making a bad decision.
