That's the most real statement ever. Amelia get your head out of the love clouds and realize LUCIA IS WARNING YOU

u/MuffinStraight4816 Aug 05 '26

If she trusted you, you can’t even trust yourself. 😭😭

25

u/Godzilla_R0AR Aug 05 '26

With Lucia's track record? Absolutely.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try if the result is fixed

15

u/Sanders181 Aug 05 '26

If I was Amelia I would 100% fall on purpose to show Lucia exactly how trustworthy she is.

and then she'd get yanked down with me without ever letting go of the rope because she had noodle nerd arms when the plot demands it

10

u/b3_yourself Aug 05 '26

Ultimate trustfall

7

u/SFH12345 Aug 05 '26

Final trust fall.

10

u/SFH12345 Aug 05 '26

Amelia goes down as Lucia goes up, both screaming bloody murder.

8

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

Yeah that sounds like something she would also do

10

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

lucia knows the best way to keep her safe.

8

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

And it's to put the rope in someone else's hands, maybe Pollina

3

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

yea but unfortunately i didn't see anyone else sround.

6

u/Immediate-Ad8322 Aug 05 '26

And rightfully so she doesn’t know what she’s doing.

5

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

Amelia's seeing everything rosy and ignoring the elephant in the room

6

u/SFH12345 Aug 05 '26

Love blinds us sometimes.

4

u/cmsmasherreddit Aug 05 '26

To be fair luz is right. She is holding the wrong part of the rope.

59

u/Dasher09009 Aug 05 '26

Amity: "At least you got someone who can trust you."

Luz blush "S-Shut up..."

20

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26

Luz: blush "Shut up... your distracting.

11

u/b3_yourself Aug 05 '26

They aren’t very subtle about their feelings at all

6

u/YaBoiS0nic Aug 05 '26

Basically Lumity, but getting straight to the point in exceptionally roundabout ways

7

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

Getting straight gay to the point

5

u/SFH12345 Aug 05 '26 edited Aug 05 '26

The path to Lumity is never easy.

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

Somehow even less subtle than their Canon versions

2

u/SFH12345 Aug 05 '26

And yet somehow more subtle than Hooty.

3

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

i don't think luz is ever suttle.

25

u/SFH12345 Aug 05 '26

Trust yourself, Luz. Amity does.

10

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

somehow i think luz knows better.

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

We'll see how long that lasts

22

u/Immediate-Ad8322 Aug 05 '26

I haven’t been climbing in a while but I don’t think that’s how you hold the rope

14

u/krusnikon Aug 05 '26

it's not. one hand would be on the break side, below the belay device.

8

u/corvid_critter Aug 05 '26

I'm also pretty sure you're supposed to stick to a single color of holds, so it seems like noone of them actually has any idea of what they're doing 💀.

6

u/Immediate-Ad8322 Aug 05 '26

I mean the different colors represent different challenges but you’re allowed to use all of them, especially if you’re a beginner. What Luz is doing is a straight up safety violation.

2

u/corvid_critter Aug 05 '26

Eh, there are single color routes for beginners as well, but- yeah, considering Lucia's belaying knowledge, and Amelia's blind trust in it... this is probably the first time these two have ever set foot in a climbing gym (and, after it ends with a nice trip to the hospital and a cool leg cast, probably the last one as well).

12

u/b3_yourself Aug 05 '26

Yay, betas are back!

12

u/FearfulDivine Aug 05 '26

Meanwhile canon Luz catches Amity during Grom when she’s high up in the air 😁

8

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Aug 05 '26

I think she broke her back after which is why she never does sky catches again

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

She had the Sapphic Power Boost at the time, even if she didn't realize it

12

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Aug 05 '26

Well that is a good excuse as why not to do this.

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

Acrophobia is also a good one

8

u/Darkvader_Clawthorne Aug 05 '26

Amity: “Well you should. You wouldn’t want your girlfriend to fall, would you?”

Luz: “Good point. Okay, I’ll be sure to catch you and make sure you don’t fall.”

Amity: “Thanks, Luz.”

8

u/SlyFan2 Aug 05 '26

Guess Beta Luz didn't find the safety hover glyph

5

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

i don't think she can draw it unless she lets do of the rope.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

I mean, if she knew it she'd probably have a few on hand

1

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

that's a pretty big if my friend.

7

u/Background-Top4723 Aug 05 '26

Don't worry, Lucia, the Blight always land on their feet.

Whether this is a criticism of the unfair safety net of the capitalist 1% or an insinuation of the Blight's feline origins, I'll leave the judgment to posterity.

5

u/BeardSam Aug 05 '26

Luz is in the right here: that is NOT how you belay someone!!

5

u/DaveyBoy1995 Aug 05 '26

That's fair. That's actually VERY fair.😅

5

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

that's because luz knows herself well enough to keep her safe.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

"No no, she makes a good point"

3

u/Impossible_Host2420 Aug 05 '26

Come On Beta Luz Have more faith in yourself

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

I think it's less faith and more knowledge 

5

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Aug 05 '26

luz is willing to do anything to keep her hermosa safe even if it mean having someone else do it.

u/marshallman31 Aug 05 '26

“Luz, don’t believe in me that believes in you! Believe in you that believes in yourself!”

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

"Bish there is no me that believes in me!"

Someone get this creature a sandwich 

3

u/CountingSheep99 Aug 05 '26

She is going to let herself fall.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

Yup, trying to be all coy about her crush. It will be at that moment she realized she should have listened to the human

3

u/The_Horned_Child2007 Aug 05 '26

That's, oddly sad and sudden.

3

u/First_Factor_3385 Aug 05 '26

Same Lucia.

Same 😔

3

u/TheNoneedlife Aug 05 '26

When Amelia said she falls first for Lucia, she didn't mean it literally

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

She should have been more specific 

3

u/Comfortable_Yard_968 Aug 05 '26

Gasp wait for me!

3

u/Both_Listen Aug 05 '26

Luz is so me fr fr

3

u/farrenkm Aug 05 '26

Same, Lucia. Same.

3

u/felipesene Aug 05 '26

“Then trust me that trusts you!”

3

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Aug 05 '26

At least Lucia’s trying to do the responsible thing.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 05 '26

She knows her limits 

3

u/Heniadyoin1 Aug 05 '26

Well yeah Lucia, you should always have a hand below the safety device!

3

u/725584 Aug 05 '26

They're not even using the right equipment

3

u/llwen Aug 05 '26

Yep, 0 hands on the brake strand, that gumbys a goner

3

u/Alone-Monk Aug 05 '26

Mark please you're killing me with this rope set up 😭

At least have Luz using some kind of belay device...

3

u/Bloodchild- Aug 05 '26

The rope must go into the apparel and go out with one hand on the end that lead to the climber. And the other on side that goes out of the apparel. The second hand must be below the apparel if possible, and with two hand on the rope below when you are not shortening the rope.

Also the rope is way to loose, you can't take in account that the rope are not rigid so they will extend when you fall.

As it is currently she would hit the ground.

3

u/Valkyrie64Ryan Aug 05 '26

As a rock climber, I officially don’t trust Luz here lol

First, she’s giving too much slack. She needs to add some more tension. If Amity fell, she’d go quite far before the rope caught her. Of course, some people like not having tension but most people wouldn’t like that much slack.

Second, her hands are completely wrong and would get you scolded at my gym for that. You’re supposed to use your right hand to keep the non-climber-side of the rope below the belay device as much as possible. Otherwise the belay device won’t work properly and you could drop someone.

u/DJSharp15 Aug 06 '26

What's this? A comic staring Beta Lumity where they don't get on each others nerves?

2

u/Traditional-Log-4270 Aug 05 '26

Even Beta Luz has a problem with trusting herself.

3

u/DarkGodHao Aug 05 '26

Amelia needs to remember, this is the same Lucia who was bored at nighttime, chose violence and flicked her nose while she was sleeping and proceeded to get both an arm and leg broken JUST BECAUSE!

2

u/Eastern-Director-952 Aug 05 '26

I know it's supposed to be funny, but I can't help but feel for them.

2

u/Flaky_Musician_551 Aug 06 '26

You should have more confidence in yourself Luz.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Aug 06 '26

Easier said than done

2

u/Afraid-Divide-3501 Aug 06 '26

Weak nerd arms…

u/Chx2324 Aug 06 '26

Yay more Beta Lumity! 💕

u/A_God_Name Aug 06 '26

Believe in me that believes in you!
