OK why haven't I seen this addressed yet??? I feel like it's kind of interesting the Collector has a big spot just vibing in Belos's mind... Does the Collector live in Belos's conscious? And if so, does that mean only Belos can see him?
I actually have several thoughts about the Collector so here we go:
The line in the riddle about him living trapped in the Titan's bones I found interesting. Is his physical body trapped somewhere in a cage of sorts, leaving his spirit free but ultimately powerless?
Going off 1, when he says that line, he morphs into an arm with a moon sigil on the wrist with those weird lines over him. This leads me to believe that's how he is trapped. His body is in that weird comatose we saw Belos put people in, and this traps him, binding him to the Titan's bones.
Did the Titan itself trap the Collector there? if not, who? I have no theories here...
If he is trapped via sigil branding, then we can easily assume the Collector was the one who taught Phillip this form of magic.
Furthermore, if he was the one who taught Phillip about sigils, we can assume it was for his own purposes as well, (more on that later), which means he might have taught/influenced Phillip on other matters, merging their ultimate goals into one. A lot of what Phillip does might be because of the Collectors influence. Although Phillip is still a psychopath.
Adding onto 5, Collector even does say a quick line about the "9 bright hues" helping them, those 9 bright hues being the exact word Belos used to describe the covens in that first memory.
Used on 5 and 6, it seems Belos has taken sigils and the coven system from the Collectors idea, both of which he previously attributed to the Titan's will. That's not the Titan's will confirmed, and he can't talk to the Titan, but instead he is talking to the Collector.
Moreover, their goals merge, with Belos wanting to purge all the witches and the Collector wanting to be free, and they will complete both via the Draining Spell.
From the way the Collector morphed during the riddle and a prior memory of Belos working on sigils, it appears that it's going to be a mass genocide through the sigils, in which the sigils drain witches of their magic, ultimately killing them, and that magic will be re-funneled into freeing the Collector finally, so that the Collector may "have his fun"...
This all paints similar to the villain system in Amphibia, where Belos isn't actually the final boss. His goal is already over by the time the Collector can become a true menace. Instead, the Collector is our final villain.

A TOH Vent
This thought has been brewing in my head for a bit so I’m just gonna say it and call it a day. This is just my thought though, feel free to be entitled to your own.
If The Owl House ending is rushed or hell- even just bad in general? The only people I will blame is Disney. I would never blame Dana or the crew.
The fact that Season 2B is some of the best work in the show and it was written knowing that the show would be cut just shows how much potential there is/was in TOH and its crew. They took the burden, the obstacles standing in front of them when Disney cut the show and are STILL producing banger after banger this season. At 10% of their power, the show is still incredible and yet it breaks my heart knowing that so much plot, development and even possible amazing fillers were lost with the cancellation. (Beach day, Darius and Hunter’s relationship, the previous G.G’s, everyone discussing how Luz leaving has been eating away at them and having a proper genuine discussion about it, learning about the other covens and their head witches, Amity and Luz’s relationship development, Hunter coping with his panic attacks and trauma, Willow and Gus continuously growing, etc.)
This show has filled my heart with such joy I cannot explain and there’s a genuine hole in my heart that it’s ending so soon. After all the media that I’ve watched, the fact that it’s still one of my favourite shows of all time pisses me off beyond words. Because I was robbed. This fandom was robbed. The cast and crew were fucking robbed.
“Didn’t fit the Disney brand”? Wth does that even mean?? This is a show I want my own kids to watch years later because it’s just that amazing. I would pass this show down for generations like a heirloom. Edit: If it didn’t fit the Disney brand why did they even green light it? Isn’t inclusion what you’re trying to promote? Just sounds like blatant homophobia to me.
So even if The Owl House’s ending ends up being lacklustre, disappointing, or down right horrendous, I can’t ever blame the team. After what they’ve done for us and what they’ve tried to save. I will only blame the mouse.
Screw the mouse.
