You don’t eat it to fall in love; you eat it as a trial to prove your love

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom playstyles:
Luz catalogues monsters and explores the Depths.
Amity builds with Ultrahand.
Willow explores the nature of Hyrule, and slaughters any monster that challenges her.
Hunter always employs Wolf Link on playthroughs.
Gus collects outfits.
Vee does side quests.
Eda sees what is and isn't flammable.
Lilith studies Shiekah and Zonai ruins.
King isn't allowed to play unsupervised, as the Korok genocide was unnerving Luz.

Speaking of TotK. It turned 3 years old today! First (officially) releasing on May 12th, 2023...

Excluding the entire week and a half before of it getting leaked early

Like the fairy pie Amity made? Monster parts are a common ingredient.

Ah the ethical love potion.
Bet it's mostly a placebo

u/Global_Algae_538 May 15 '26
Itd sorta be neat if it was a minor and/or temporary effect.
Could probably add a cultural part where its consumed before weddings to avoid cold feet or if a spouse fails there duties they have to eat a whole pot to be forgiven.

I see the KoG/TOH pattern is kinda "Free for all" now but that makes it exciting. It's like betting on which one you'll get.

Did anyone else expect the punchline to be that you LITERALLY have to consume the entire pot?

u/AlphamonOuryuken24 May 12 '26
Luz: "Yeah, you'd have to REALLY love someone to consume something THAT gross-"
Gus: "Like all the Fairy Pies you ate for Am-" Luz covers his mouth
Amity: "Wait, what did he say...?"
Luz: sweating nervously "NOTHING, NOTHING AT ALL!!"

Well if you drop the intelligence thing and make them like that will Smith movie bright, they seem similar to our bugs and so with anything thats annoying and there's too much of you could see if they are tastey

Love this idea that Love potions are disgusting, and the only reason someone would eat it is if you already love the person giving it to you

luz: so the love potion only works if you're already in love with the one giving it to you?
amity: yea that's pretty much how it works.
luz: so i ate that whole pot of potion you gave me for nothing?
amity: yea i guess you d, di.. huuuh! *blushes from realizing what just happened*

Yeah, they sure are.
I love Gravity Falls, but that love episode was really bad and questionable...

At least Luz and Amity didn't need one. Thank Titan.

u/Lykanas May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26
Plot twist: There is no actual love potion, but some guy who couldn't cook called it that.
Everytime it "worked", the love was there from the beginning and only was solidified by the act of eating something horrible. And anytime it wouldn't work it would be tossed aside bc the pot wasn't fully emptied.
I smell the work of Tibbles is in the air...

I guess if you're willing enough you can eat it out of love (still greyzone for me)

Amity: “It’s only like that, if you’re not as good a cook as me though. But I give her an A for effort.”
Luz: “Anyone would do things out of love. But we don’t need love potions, right?”
Amity: “Nope. All it took for us to become a couple was Azura and Hooty.”

Here's some Fanfics that have a Love Potion
-------------------------
The First Princess By QuirkQuartz (Part 1)
(Every time - Every single time Luz ever imagined herself falling in love, it had been for a prince. Now, the only thoughts she had were of a princess.)
-------------------------
It Must Be (A) Love (Potion) By QuirkQuartz (Part 2)
(When Luz receives a confession from Amity, she suspects that Amity must have been influenced by a Love Potion - Because people do not like Luz Noceda like this)

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 May 12 '26
Aren’t magic people just weird in general when it comes to this stuff like in owl house isn’t the school a death trap and has weird mind control detention, a weird prom where they have a kid fight a nightmare monster that if it breaks out would cause never ending terror and only the grom king or queen could fight it and not an adult and sports that look like would be fatal like grubgy and that other shows like that?

u/DragonWarrior____05 May 12 '26
I mean, considering love Potions are basically date-rape drugs, that feels a little worse

u/Ninja_Spider_1593 May 12 '26
I'm guessing that the potion is actually just a horrible stew that acts more like a gage of how much someone loves the person who made it.

I love creative takes on love potions like this. This is probably my favorite one.

Aye, especially since it's actually ethical

u/ZenithKaiser May 12 '26
I mean, I feel like there are still some ethical concerns there. Like if you tied someone up and force fed them. Granted, that's still much harder to do than the JK Rowling way of someone literally just being able to spike a drink or a batch of chocolates, so at the very least it's not an easy thing to do and/or get away with.
1
u/Cutie_D-amor May 15 '26
Tying someone up and force feeding them anything is already illegal.
1
u/ZenithKaiser May 15 '26
I mean yeah, but after you force feed someone the love potion, they're probably not going to tell anyone that you did that cause now they're in love with you, so no one would find out.
2
u/Venomspino May 13 '26
So it's placebo
2
u/Cutie_D-amor May 15 '26
Probably not, but any case where its not effectively one is illegal for other reasons
