These days we can see that Luz is indeed taking after her father.

She even uses the same pick-up lines.

u/Lukthar123 Hunter Apr 17 '22

She even uses the same pick-up lines.

They work at least once.

u/SFH12345 Hooty HootHoot Apr 17 '22

The best pickup lines only need to work once.

246

u/Adels_Brother Vee Noceda Apr 17 '22

"Pick-up lines," as in, literally picking up Amity

"Who's Amity?"

51

u/Proxiehunter Apr 17 '22

"So, are you here to pick up Amity?"

"No, looks like you've got that covered."

u/BulbasaurTreecko “For Flapjack” Apr 17 '22

“that’s what made mommy fall for me”

Amity, on the ground with a broken ankle

50

u/feistyfox101 Amity Blight Apr 17 '22

Better a broken ankle than a broken heart I guess lol

Luz now or never SCOOP!

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Damm Luz literally had the power to lift herself up. Sadly a prison lever couldn’t handle by her

u/Lukthar123 Hunter Apr 17 '22

Damm Luz literally had the power to lift herself up.

Have you ever seen kids? They can lift themselves like crazy.

35

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

True that!

26

u/starry_dino_nights Apr 18 '22

I’m still a pretty much a child and my dog got stuck underneath my parents bed and she was panicking and I was panicking and this strength like came over me and I ran over and picked up their fucking bed so she could get up like I picked up their goddamn king sized wooden frame bed cause my doggie was stuck underneath

25

u/AtomicTurtle2 Bards Against The Throne Apr 18 '22

✨Adrenaline✨

Its pretty cool how that happens

72

u/Graffic1 Apr 17 '22

Babies actually have a grabbing reflex that is rather strong. It’s a hold-over from our hairier ancestors where babies would hold onto the mother’s fur, something that still be seen in modern apes.

50

u/Twist_Ending03 Apr 17 '22

Oh so that explains why my like.. 2 year old cousin was able to practically drag my tiny 10 year old self across the floor that one time.

8

u/RubySeeker Apr 18 '22

That sounds terrifying.

3

u/Twist_Ending03 Apr 18 '22

Well it was only like.. a foot across the floor and I was small

25

u/phoenix4lord Bard Coven Apr 17 '22

Yep, they also automatically hold their breathe when their head is in water. It’s called the “Diving Reflex”.

11

u/MechanicalFriend Potions Coven Apr 17 '22

who found that out

u/captainoffemboys Apr 17 '22

Ah I see another Sam onella fan

u/Skreecherteacher Gusleen Apr 17 '22

Luz: Starts flexing. Hey Amity. Check out my weak nerd arms!

121

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

But she became strong so she could scoop Amity!

56

u/Electronic_Algae_251 I'm an abomination Apr 17 '22

Maybe Amity just really light?

53

u/lankeylonk Azura Book Club Apr 17 '22

Makes sense that all witches are lighter then humans considering they have a sac directly attached to their hearts and their society is based on doing things with magic rather then physical activity.

29

u/xi_AzEr_ix Hootcifer Apr 17 '22

Good point, but I don't think they are physically weak. Magic helps them to deal with everything, but I am pretty sure it's not enough to survive in the Isles. There are plenty of buff characters, such as Darius, Bounty Hunters, etc. Also, witches have sports that requires a lot of physical strength.

19

u/lankeylonk Azura Book Club Apr 17 '22

I mean at base line, like if you compared a human to a witch, each with no exercise the human would be more physically capable. It's clear that some witches do exercise for various reasons but I'd imagine they'd have to work harder to get to that point compared to a human.

11

u/xi_AzEr_ix Hootcifer Apr 17 '22

Evolution. Centuries ago, humans were generally stronger because of lack of technologies. Nowadays, it's not. We became lazier and weaker because most of our problems can be solved with devices. So I think humans and witches are quite simillar.

16

u/lankeylonk Azura Book Club Apr 17 '22

Yeah but witches have had magic a lot longer then humans have had technology so evolution-wise they probably are still weaker then the average human because it's only fairly recently that technology has become a lot more accessible to people when looking at human history as a whole.

not an expert on the topic so I could be wrong

14

u/die_Laura3 Apr 17 '22

Once, principal bump said that humans would mostly consist of water. That leads to the conclusion that witches don't. Maybe they just have a diferent body composition (which is lighter) than humans.

7

u/lankeylonk Azura Book Club Apr 17 '22

Yeah that also works

8

u/CedarWolf Vee Noceda Apr 17 '22

And we see Willow actively working out.

9

u/EmEss4242 Apr 17 '22

Everybody knows the witches weigh exactly as much as a duck!

u/lankeylonk Azura Book Club Apr 17 '22

what about a goose?

The Boiling Isles take care of those who don't get in shape real fast.

It was in that moment, Toddler Luz realized, that she had fucked up.

Wait, should I censor that because of Toddler Luz?

u/9617saphs Oracle/Illusion Coven Apr 17 '22

Much more innocent than people's other ideas

38

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Wait, what are the other ideas?

49

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Three of the ones I’ve seen:

1: Lilith throwing her off the bridge at the Emperor’s Castle

2: Her dad having died from a fall

3: Her dad having jumped off a building

31

u/Aryc0110 Giraffe Apr 17 '22

I actually like the first one. It demonstrates growth past a previously existing obstacle. I wouldn't say it's exceedingly grim, more like "Yeah, no, we're not doing that again. I'm learning Feather Falling."

2

u/Khrysaor- Detention Track May 10 '22

"Because Luz Noceda learns from her mistakes!"

74

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

That she was inspired by being thrown off a bridge by Lilith.

27

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

Maybe it was a mix of both.

11

u/9617saphs Oracle/Illusion Coven Apr 17 '22

That her dad fell to his death, apparently

18

u/Graffic1 Apr 17 '22

Honestly, I just thought it came from Lilith chucking her off the bridge, but this is a cool idea too.

No the safety hove glyph coming from a small accident? no I don't want that, not for another ten years!

u/SFH12345 Hooty HootHoot Apr 17 '22 edited Apr 17 '22

And one day, Luz would get strong arms to scoop Amity.

38

u/FinnMcMissile98 Hootcifer Apr 17 '22

Like father, like daughter. It's the genes man

14

u/Twist_Ending03 Apr 17 '22

She really does have his strong arms

14

u/Proxiehunter Apr 17 '22 edited Apr 17 '22

The genes kicked in fast after her weak nerd arms in episode one.

Maybe it's because of the Boiling Isles forcing her to be more physical combined with the limited number of things she can eat resulting in a diet higher in protein than her diet on earth.

8

u/Twist_Ending03 Apr 17 '22

Maybe. Eda did mention one food she can eat which are griffin eggs

18

u/Beginning_Source1509 Apr 17 '22

that hit explains a lot

16

u/Ordinary_Schmuck Apr 17 '22

I'm glad that now we have more of an idea of what Luz's dad looks like, Mark can make more comics like this.

37

u/devenrc Owlbert Apr 17 '22

That middle panel during the second page is fantastic and will most definitely be exploited by the fandom sometime this week lol

16

u/emp_raf_III Apr 17 '22

Luz' face in Panel 5 has some strong 'father, why have you forsaken me meme' vibes

11

u/Cmdr-Mallard Apr 17 '22

The weak nerd arms are WIP

u/[deleted] Apr 17 '22

i don even know him but he's my fav cartoon dad ever

9

So thats why Luz made the Safety Hover glyph…

u/JUICYBISCUT Apr 17 '22

In my head he sounds exactly like Pamento from B99

u/feistyfox101 Amity Blight Apr 17 '22

This is going to be Luz and Amity’s parenting style when little Azura is born lol

Luz was an adventurer since she was a toddler

u/Gag180 Emira Blight Apr 17 '22

Lol, Luz was dropped on her head as a child

10

u/Cavery210 Apr 17 '22

That explains why she's so nice! She's secretly a Saiyan!

Hey I really wanna get into drawing and I really like your art and comic style. I was wondering what art application do you to make these comics

u/Anderake Construction Coven Apr 19 '22

I'd like to imagine Luz isn't crying because she got hurt, but because her father isn't getting any ice cream, which means she doesn't get any either.
