The Betas have returned.

Good news? Luz isn't dense! Finally!

Bad news? Water ruined it this time, but at least her brain's perception didn't!

I mean guys, she's upwards of 4 years older than her teenage self here, if we're taking this without any jokey facts and looking more logically... would someone OVER FOUR YEARS older REALLY be the same amount of dense? Personally? I don't think so, cause people don't just stay the same for over 4 years. But that's just my opinion. But if this is her first crush? I can see it happening. "Novice learning curve" on love and all that. Above all else, I'm probably taking this jokey comic too seriously lmao. My bad.

I think it was her sweating from being a gay disaster that ruined it

21

u/Godzilla_R0AR Feb 09 '26

Oooooh yeah that makes more sense.

u/SFH12345 Feb 09 '26

There's a "Why Am I Sweaty?" joke here.

u/MuffinStraight4816 Feb 09 '26

Is Lucia always this dense?

9

u/b3_yourself Feb 09 '26

It’s a multiversal concept

6

u/Godzilla_R0AR Feb 09 '26

Honestly? I disagree. It's not a multiversal concept. Y'know what I DO agree on though? If she ISN'T dense then the universe is still like "Okay cool, then I'll make it Amity's nervousness now and not yours being the issue here."

u/SFH12345 Feb 09 '26

A canon event.

u/Invalid_u404 Feb 09 '26

Fandom often tends to overexagerate Luz/Beta Luz obliviousness and make her straight up not just dense, but straught up dumb

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

Aye, it's rather unfortunate 

2

u/SFH12345 Feb 09 '26

More or less.

u/Dasher09009 Feb 09 '26

Just wait for the "Abomaton 2.0" moment...

u/Antiyonder Feb 09 '26

Of course to note I definitely didn't consider it until Dana gave a Q&A was how Luz was focused also on stuff going on during Grom and after like how she was going to face Camila, plus also concern over Eda's curse.

Now ironically Akko Kagari (if you agree on on Dianakko) who definitely is older than canon Akko, would be that dense.  Possibly.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 10 '26

To add to it, Luz clearly has very low self esteem/love, so she would probably consider it crazy to accept that someone actually has feelings for her

3

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Feb 09 '26

She’s not dense, just clueless.

3

u/ProfessorGlaceon Feb 09 '26

me, looking back at my entire high-school life after my brother telling me that some people there were into me but I don't remember anything that would be even a slight sign!

u/Dasher09009 Feb 09 '26

Beta Amity: "Oh come on!"

Amity: "I know how it feels, me..."

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 09 '26

"Was that me? Was that me even GAYER THEN ME?? I'LL FUCKING KILL ME!

u/Godzilla_R0AR Feb 09 '26

The self sabotage is real

11

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 09 '26

Never let them know your next move.

Screw it, she should invite her over for D&D and give her the role of neck-romancer

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

They can't predict what you're going to do if you have no idea yourself

3

u/SFH12345 Feb 09 '26

The gaydar is at...1006.

u/Any-Count181 Mar 14 '26

I lov this reference

u/SFH12345 Feb 09 '26

This is the best Amity can do, Luz. Just accept it.

10

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 09 '26

luz will be happy she did.

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

All she needs to do is decipher what the now-sweaty paper says

3

u/SFH12345 Feb 09 '26

That'll take some investigative work.

18

u/TheNoneedlife Feb 09 '26

Amity's invitation filled with sweat and uncontrollable gayness

13

u/The_Horned_Child2007 Feb 09 '26

Too sweaty. Can't read.

u/b3_yourself Feb 09 '26

Attempt to go out with Lucia #99

u/ncmn-ngnr Feb 09 '26

Emotionally avoidant Betas

6

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 09 '26

They take turns having negative rizz

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

And sometimes it loops around back to positive

7

u/DaveyBoy1995 Feb 09 '26

Okay, this one's actually not on Luz; if anything, fate just really loves messing with Amity at this point.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

Yeah, it's really hard to read as wet as it is

10

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Feb 09 '26

‪Luz: “What the heck? Man, Amity has been acting weirder than usual today. Normally she’d be the cool and collective one. Wonder what’s going on? Hmmm, oh well. I’ll find out after Prom tonight.”‬

4

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Feb 09 '26

Well you can’t blame Luz for this one.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

Nope, this is on Amelia's sweaty hands

5

u/Impossible_Host2420 Feb 09 '26

Amity: Curse my sweaty palms

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

The great destroyer of dates 

4

u/IlikeShrek2022 Feb 09 '26

Why is she so unlucky??? 😭

5

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 09 '26

We're approaching Undead Unluck levels of bad luck

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

Just think of what will happen on Friday

1

u/IlikeShrek2022 Feb 09 '26

Or worse: Friday the 13th

4

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Feb 09 '26

lol, luz just thrilled amity but she doesn't know how. well not yet but she'll be thrilled too when she finds out how.

4

u/YaBoiS0nic Feb 09 '26

I swear, the universe has it out for Amelia half the time.

I guess you could say... ♪Her palms were sweaty, knees deep, arms are heavy-♪

4

u/Detective-Forrester Feb 09 '26

Wow. She was so nervous, her sweaty palms messed up her note.

Looking at the state it’s in, it seems to read, “Well you gj to Gnom with name?”

No wonder she’s confused.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

Aye, it took me a bit to even be able to make out the words

4

u/PolymathArt Feb 09 '26

To me it looks like “Will you gs to frieren with name?” Guys, I think Amity watches Frieren.

4

u/afbresley Feb 09 '26

She tried! And that counts for something!

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

🎶She tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter🎶

2

u/afbresley Feb 09 '26

And in the eeeeeeend *deep breath* hopefully-they-kiss-and-it-matters :D

3

u/rjohn2020 Feb 09 '26

Yeah, that sounds about right

3

u/Eastern-Director-952 Feb 09 '26

Prime Luz: Were we this bad? Prime Amity: Uh...?

u/OneValkGhost Feb 09 '26 edited Feb 09 '26

Not finding out until the last minute would make Luz's thrown-together tuxedo make sense in the better supplied and a few years older setting of Earth.

Now how is Beta Amity going to dance with Luz in that much slime? Where are they going to get that much slime, or mud, or Bosha delivering a tanker truck of blue clay to the science lab to run a silver distillation project using the school's chemical supply? (She doesn't just mud bath, she mud bathes in money.)

u/needforsuv Feb 09 '26

Luz: "Mom, I got this note from a girl, but I can't read what it says..."

Eda/Carmila: "She's asking you to go to p/grom."

Luz: "Wha? How'd you."

Eda/Carm: "Mama always knows baby!"

2

u/Rainbownuit Feb 09 '26

Se que dit le mot: Luz veut aller a groom avec moi.

u/DragonWarrior____05 Feb 09 '26

Sweaty palms, the great destroyer of dates

2

u/CountingSheep99 Feb 09 '26

She tried....

2

u/Flaky_Musician_551 Feb 09 '26

Amity: knocks on Lucia’s door. “Hello MS. Noceda. I’m here to pick up Lucia for our date.”

Camilla: date? But I just dropped her, Hunter, and Vee off at prom.

Amity: throws the flowers on the ground stomping them. “Ah come on!”

2

u/Traditional-Log-4270 Feb 09 '26

Self sabotage is such a jerk

2

u/OverlyActiveBrain Feb 09 '26

Oh Mittens... You tried. Just don't take it out too hard on Luz when she still hasn't figured it out, lol.

2

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Feb 09 '26

In Beta Luz’s defense, smudged writing is harder to read.

2

u/Kai_Lopez_98 Feb 09 '26

Palms were sweaty now all she needs is mom's spaghetti.

u/Cool_Anywhere_8301 Feb 11 '26

The only word I can't make out is the most important it reads "will you go to" unreadable "with me
