#the owl house emperor belos x reader

[owlish-owlhouse]

I don’t know if you do headcanons but - what do you think belos would be like if he started developing a crush ? 👀 your last post was so good it had me thinking about this

Thankyou and yes I do headcannons, sorry this took so long it got buried in my drafts :)

~~~

Belos is a manipulative person who's a narcissist that has a god complex disorder. He also has a savior complex making him extra delusional and dangerous, as he's able to justify everything he does to himself as a means to an end. Despite the fact that it's very wrong.

His delusion of speaking to the Titan and misinterpreting it's words (if it does speak to him) make him not only dangerous but leaves him with a large following who are willing to do anything for him as they think it's for the will of the Titan. That being said I don't think he'd be the worst lover even if he had deep flaws. (Flaws that he would hide from you to win your affection and love)

But it also depends on the kind of love Belos is giving you. Is it genuine love or manipulative interest? Does he really love you or are you a toy to him? A tool or a means to an end? Something to amuse his sadistic desires? Turns out your none of those things as he could never bring himself to hurt you. Manipulative yes it's simply in his nature, but feeling genuine affection and love? Also Yes. He's fallen in love and he's fallen hard. This crush will be the death of him as you fill his head as he slowly becomes enamoured.

Oh he recognizes it's the ultimate irony that he fell for a witch after killing his brother for the very same thing. He knows he shouldn't have feelings for you but something deep inside him stirs whenever he's around you or thinks of you. Perhaps you've used your magic to ensnare him or perhaps 400 years of being alone has finally gotten to him and he just wants someone to hold and care for him. He never had time for a partner in the other world and perhaps with the Day of Unity slowly approaching this is a reward for his plans. God sending him someone to save from the hell the rest of their kind will endure, someone he can love. Whatever the reason, he does love you in his own twisted way and will do whatever necessary to keep you safe and feeling the same as him.

Belos doesn't get out much barley ever leaving the castle since he has lackeys to do his work for him. He either met you at a castle ball or some important coven function held at the castle.

Knowing it would be odd if he didn't engage in his party he decides to pick someone at random to ask to dance. Spotting you seemingly all alone he comes over and asks with a polite bow if you'd like to dance with him. Your flustered face made him smile and he often thought back to that first meeting. You seemed hesitant but smiling at your Emperor you took his offered hand and were whisked off to dance much to the surprise of everyone. As you dance he has a casual conversation asking about the party and small talk but than you say something that catches his interest and the conversation turns to other more in depth topics.

Since he talked/danced with you at random he can't get you out of his mind. It becomes very dangerous for you as your fate is now sealed as his.

He loves your intellect. The short talk you had completely captured his attention, he can't remember when that last happened. Yes while your very aesthetically pleasing to look at it's your intellect and wit that win him over in the end and make him curious about you. Anyone can be pretty but not everyone can be intelligent. He could never be with someone dull and after speaking to you about that random topic his brain bounces around what you said not letting him think of anything else. It's fills his thoughts and soon enough no matter what he's doing your all he can think of.

Belos will start obsessing over you in private, learning everything he can about you so he can make a plan to win you over. Your favorite flowers, your favorite color, your hobbies, the school you went too, your magic track/coven, your job, your education level, anything and everything he can find out about you he takes the knowledge in to use for later. He's an old romantic and wants to court you the correct way as well as make you fall in love the old fashioned way. Puritan Catholics were encouraged to marry for love and be wed because God brought them together, he intends to continue this tradition thinking your a gift from God himself for all his hard work. He wants a willing lover that will adore him not someone who will be forced to sit and be obedient by his side.

He constantly finds himself thinking of you while working. Your laugh. Your smile. The short talk you had together. The dance you shared. Your hands looped behind his neck as you danced. His hands on your waist as he glided across the ballroom floor with you. The way you blushed when he offered you to dance and the shocked look you gave him realizing it was the Emperor. You make him a flustered mess and it frustrates him to no end but it also makes him happy to think of you. His heart beating in a way that gives him butterflies. He truly hasn't felt this way in centuries.

He begins to court you once he feels he knows everything he needs to know to win your heart. Flowers are sent to your home along with extravagant gifts and heartfelt letters he wrote. All anonymous at first to gauge your reaction and see what you'd do when given a secret admirer. He starts off small but soon it becomes more intimate, more personal. You seem happy to receive the gifts regardless and when he heard from a coven scout that your searching for the admirer he gets a deep sense of pride.

Deciding it's time Belos sends you a letter this time signed with his seal and invites you to dine at the castle with him. Belos knows exactly what he wants and makes it very clear he would like to court you. When your surprised he just admits your the only witch who's made him feel this way and that the short talk you had was something he kept thinking of. It's flattering to say the least and although a little overwhelming you can't deny your Emperor and allow yourself to be courted.

Belos is a patient man. He has time to win your heart and he intends to win it the correct way. Every move he does to become closer to you is carefully calculated and planned. He enjoys your presence and he wants you to adore him as much as he does you. He will win your heart through softly spoken words, thought out gifts, and gentle actions.

Dates are a private affair always done in the privacy of the castle. He swears it's for saftey reasons and not because he doesn't want people to know your courting. He could care less if people knew you were his, infact he'd prefer it but it's too early in the relationship for anything like that. He had his suspicions the covenheads already knew. And he knows Hunter at least had some suspicions about the mysterious guest Belos kept bringing to the castle.

He's slow but very deliberate with his ministrations. Waiting for the perfect moment to have your firsts together. Your first hand holding, your first date, your first cuddle session, your first time saying I love you to each other, your first time sitting on the throne with him, your first kiss, your first time making out. He spreads them out and makes sure not to rush things. He wants you to know he enjoys you and your company and not just your body. He's more than content to just talk all night and hold you close than doing other activities. As much as he loves your body you both have time and he doesn't want to rush and ruin anything.

Months in when your living in the castle but not in the same room is when Belos thinks it's time. It's been hundreds of years since Philip was banned from every town in the Boiling Isles. Your sitting on his throne with him humming softly as he plays with your hair. Your head is against his chest and he's truly never felt such bliss. In this soft moment he tells you his real name is Philip. That's when he's in trouble. Once you say his name outloud he knows no matter what he will have you as his. You will rule by his side as his beloved in the Isles and become his partner in the human Realm once the Day of Unity approaches.

Oh (Y/N) you had no idea what you did to him...

Headcanons I proposed for Philip/Belos in a discord server I’m in.

NSFW HEADCANONS AHEAD

Philip:

Philip never undresses completely during intimacy, he only ever pulls his pants down far enough to free his cock, but otherwise remains fully clothed.

Most times, Philip will have you face down against the table or wall or floor—whatever is most convenient for him (which is usually least convenient for you)

He’s very lazy when it comes to prepping you. He’ll massage your ass and test the waters with his thumb to see if there's enough give to take him right away. If he’s not in too much of a hurry to be inside, he’ll use that thumb to hook inside you and stretch you slightly before yanking down his pants.

He uses spit as lube. He doesn't warn you, you just hear a “ptooe” and feel a wetness before he shoves himself in

There are two modes of doggy style depending on how desperate he is: one where he’s leaned over you and has his chin resting on one of your shoulders as he grunts in your ear (stuff like “that's it” or “c’mon”) and the other where he's mostly upright and has a firm grip on your hips as he rolls his hips into you.

If it's the former, very rarely will you hear the “slapping” sound that one thinks of when they think of sex, there just isn't enough leverage for it, but the trade-off is being able to feel all of his weight bearing down on you.

Then, of course, there are some days where you manage to face him as he's pounding into you. On days like this, again, you can either have him embracing you as he grunts into your ear, or you can have him keep you at arm's length as he uses you.

If you're able to gaze at his face during these moments, you won't see a loving look from him, no. His expression will be stern, harsh, or borderline angry. His teeth will be bared in a scowl and he almost looks murderous.

He usually has one or two rounds in him, but sometimes there are more. When he's done, he’ll stay sheathed inside you until you move, then he gets up and wipes himself off with his hand (will sling it on the ground/floor of cave carelessly) and stuffs himself back into his pants. Proceeds to ignore you/pretend nothing happened.

Belos:

(assuming human!reader):

Assuming we’re running with the headcanon that Belos is a virgin before you, Belos learns from example, that how he acts in the bedroom is entirely dictated by how you treat him your first time.

If you treat undressing like a dance, he’ll treat it as a dance from then on. His cloak and overshirt, your shirt, his boots, your shoes, undoing his belt and easing his pants down, unbuttoning your pants and easing them down. He treats undressing as a back-and-forth, waiting for you to match his state of undress before progressing further. During this, he's also giving you gentle praises and kissing you, massaging your shoulders, the works.

But, if you take charge the first time and undress him *for* him, he’ll insist on undressing you completely before beginning to undress himself. He likes the image of you laid out on his bed as he undresses. It's an exercise in self-control to not rush in getting naked himself.

The actual act is a toss-up, but it's almost always going to be slow and gentle. I don't see him as a lover who will get too rough in bed, no matter how infuriating it may be for you.

He's a switch, but tends to lean on the dominant side once he’s familiar with the ins and outs of intimacy.

Unlike Philip, where he’s desperate and needy, Belos is calm and calculated, often chastising you in a soft voice if you're being too impatient. He’ll gaze into your eyes, wanting to be close enough to brush noses with you. He’ll stroke your hair, kiss your cheek, press his nose against your jawline, etc…

He's the master of cuddles after sex. He won't pull out of you unless you want him to, but he prefers to sleep on top of you with your body warming his limp cock. He’ll spend the rest of the night nestled against you, kissing along your shoulder and telling you how good you were.

Part 1

Philip Wittebane/Emperor Belos x Reader Part 2

----------------------------

He couldn't believe it.

It was you.

The Emperor had stepped back from the hall and rushed towards his office the second you had looked over to him. He didn't care if anyone had noticed his strange behaviour. No one would have been foolish enough to call him out on it regardless.

There was no doubt that you were the one who he had seen all those years ago. He heard you speaking to the scouts and god forbid that he would ever forget those eyes.

The eyes that had nearly made him forget that you were a witch and he, a witch hunter.

Once he had reached his office, he immediately moved to the books he had stored and flipped through any that would have to do with time passing, preserving bodies and maybe even cloning.

After a moment, he paused on a page and was sure he had found the correct one.

Time pools.

Though some memories had become fuzzy overtime, the day he met you was one that had remained clear.

He remembered how you explained to him that you would never be able to see him again, that certainly tracked with time pools being unable to reappear in the same place twice. Even finding one was incredibly rare to the point most didn't believe in their existence.

Yet there you were, a demon he had felt a fondness for that he had never expected to run into ever again, standing in his castle.

You had no clue who he was, how could he ever explain that?

Then again, he didn't have to.

He pulled himself from his thoughts as he realized that he still had the intention to grow closer to you. How could he be thinking that way, even after all these years?

Belos groaned, dragging his gauntlet down his mask in frustration. The feeling of his brother's eyes on the back of his neck certainly did not help.

He was not his brother, he could handle this. Despite the way his heart picked up as his mind wandered back to you.

Blissfully unaware, you had begun to wrap up your job. The packages had been delivered and now you were striking up conversation with one of the scouts as you both waited for a captain to come and sign for everything.

Suddenly the scout grew quiet and stiffened immediately, their hand moving to a salute. You hadn't processed what they were doing, almost worried that you had said something wrong until you clued in on the other scouts doing the same and facing something behind you.

You turned and nearly bumped into the person behind you. Before you could apologize, your face went white and the words died on your lips at the sight of the Emperor. His form towered over you easily, being in front of him would make even the strongest demons feel weak.

Instinctually, you fell into a bow in front of him. "M-my Emperor."

His eyes had looked upon you so gently, he had to fight down the sigh of relief from just being able to speak to you again. Even if it was under drastically different circumstances.

With just the raise of his hand, the scouts had dropped their salutes and you stood up straight. He held out his hand to you and as you looked at it, unsure of what he was asking for you slowly put your hand into his.

Then you heard him laugh and he placed his other hand on top of yours. "No, my dear. I need you to give me the papers to sign."

Your face burned red as you pulled your hand back and turned to find your clipboard. Your mind was racing almost as fast as your heart was after your little mistake. With shaky hands, you handed the clipboard to the Emperor. He took it, his gauntlet touching the tips of your fingers for only a moment.

He seemed to move very slowly, but in a methodical way. Something about everything the Emperor did seemed regal and purposeful, to even be this close to him to notice was like seeing the Titan itself walk again.

You were definitely going to brag to the other vendors about this later.

Your eyes followed the pen as it glided across the page frictionlessly. He handed the clipboard back to you and of course his handwriting was perfect too.

You had half a mind to believe that he was the Titan.

"Thank you, your highness." Once again, you bowed.

Emperor Belos chuckled under his breath and a single golden digit lifted your chin before his hands clasped together. "Please, it was my pleasure."

You couldn't stop the embarrassing squeak at the slight contact, not expecting that sort of behaviour from the Emperor, but how could you? In all fairness, this was the first time you had ever interacted with him personally, maybe he was always like this.

At least that was what you were convincing yourself until he walked away and you turned back to notice all of the scouts whispering to one another. You were embarrassed, confused but also a bit interested. There was no reasonable way to explain that interaction, but maybe it was a one-off, a fluke.

That's what you said in your head as you made your way back to your workshop and continued on with your life.

Barely a week later, you had another order addressed to the castle asking for you specifically.

Perhaps he couldn't be with you, but maybe he could still have fun with you.

It wasn't like he would get attached.

Right?

History || Emperor Belos

Synopsis - Emperor Belos, who you once loved as Phillip, finds your corpse and restores you.

Warnings - Mentions of death. Old ass Belos. Cannibals. 

A/n - I have a love-hate relationship with this dude.

Requests are opened; headcanons only

↳ Ahh, young love.

↳ Your families had betrothed you to one another, as he had been born only a month after you.

↳ Either that, or it’s childhood friends to lovers. Cause ✨ Gay ✨

↳ Despite that, you fell for one another by 15.

↳ You know that trope, “She fell first, but he fell harder”? Yeah, that’s you both.

↳ Philip, who you affectionately call ‘Pip’, discovered the demon realm while he, you and Caleb where off sneaking out of the village for a few hours.

↳ The 3 of you were famously known around the village for your reckless adventures. Many of these adventures had worked out in favour though, considering you had caught a few mountain lions heading towards your town and were able to warn the towns folk before any real harm could be done to gravesfield.

↳ You actually moved with them to gravesfield, as what had killed their parents was a mistimed house fire that took your parents as well.

↳ Being only the short age of 19, you decided that instead of messing with fate, you travelled back home, pretending as if you all had all been out picking berries.

↳ Or some bitch lame activity.

↳ But, as fate happens, Caleb came across the portal to the Demon realm again, and y’know what they say, right?

↳ Curiosity killed the cat.

↳ Philip finds out, mainly cause Caleb actually planned his trip by writing it down in his diary.

↳ Caleb had been missing for a few days and both of you were worried.

↳ So Philip actually informed the town that he was travelling into the Demon realm.

↳ You assumed you would be going with him. You were not.

↳ Let’s be honest, there is no way in hell he would let you go with him. He genuinely loves you bro.

↳ So, you begrudgingly stayed. Obviously not without him proposing, in secret as it is the early 1600’s, giving you a pretty ring.<3

↳ So, off he traveled into the demon realm, with the promise of coming back safely with his dear brother.

↳ You never saw him again.

↳ He had promised he would come back to you within weeks. You waited years. The ring he gave you remained on you finger, hoping he’d one day come back to finish the end of his promise.

↳ When you were nearly 30, you gave up waiting for him to come back, and instead searched for a way to get to him.

↳ The portal you had found with the Wittebane brothers had closed long before you had seeked it without them.

↳ So, instead you would search the forest in hopes you would stumble across a gate or door of some description by chance.

↳ That wasn’t where your luck was.

↳ You fell through the earth, which turned into sky and landed on hard, yet simultaneously soft rock.

↳ Though, you still broke a leg when you hit the ground.

↳ Bone poking through the leg.

↳ And unfortunately for you, barbaric witches could smell the blood from your fucked up leg.

↳ They ate you.

↳ They ate and left no crumbs bestie😔✊

↳ They buried what was left of you. Your clothes, bones, hair, 1 eyeball and your ring.

↳ And around 350-ish years later, a random coven scout, managed to find your remains.

↳ He was on a mission with the GG prior to Hunter, who was barely out of training.

↳ He pointed out the pile of bones and dirt covered clothes to him, and the GG recognised them as the love of Belos’ life, the one he had heard a few stories of.

↳ Belos talked about you so often, to all the previous Golden Guards with such details, it was no wonder the GG could recognise you. Belos also had a small painting of you, cause it was the 1600s when you knew each other.

↳ He also saw the similarities between the ring your finger held to Emperor Belos’.

↳ So, he ordered the other coven scouts that had been assigned on the mission to bring your bones back with them to the castle.

↳ During his mission report, he mentioned the pile of bones he had discovered. He also told Belos himself, figuring that if it were you, he’d want to know immediately.

↳ Belos had demanded to know where you had been placed, and sought you out the moment the GG told him.

↳ He too recognises you, noticing how you had been wearing one of your favourite outfits and the ring he had given you.

↳ And so, like he had done with his brother a multitude of times, he was gonna make a Grim Walker of you.

↳ Belos is a psycho, I don’t know what you expected. 🤷

↳ Belos gets to work immediately, and seeing as he has done this process several times before, he finished quickly and then just had to wait.

↳ Eventually you crawled from the dirt, around the age he had left you back in the human realm.

↳ Though all your memories of him or anything, weren’t existent.

↳ So you know the memory thing Luz and Willow did back in season 1? Yeah that, but to himself.

↳ Belos is a psycho but a psycho in love with you.

↳ He talked of all the memories you two had together, how you fell in love and when tragedy struck.

↳ But none of it worked.

↳ So he asked Collector to just restore your memories and fake ones of how you got to the Demon Relam

↳ Belos wanted to be your saviour, to be the one person you remember.

↳ He knew he’d have to be careful with how he treated you, worried that you’d remember how he had abandoned you and become cold to him.

↳ Belos only had these fears due to Caleb’s ghost constant remarks about how shitty Belos was for leaving you alone, filled with hope based on fake, empty promises.

↳ Belos kisses you when he sees a fit opportunity, which is a lot, scared that he’d have to restart the process of getting you to love and remember him again.

↳ Constantly bribes you with lavish gifts and promised riches.

↳ Also, a lot of gaslighting, he’s a tad bit very toxic.

↳ He loves you, he’s just incredibly mentally ill and hella misguided by 1600’ Orthodox Christian’s.

↳ Back when he was Phillip, he loved you in the way he thought he’d go crazy without you. But now, as Belos, you make him insane beyond all reasoning.

Emperor Belos: I hate witches.

Y/N (a witch): Hey can you help me with this?

Philip DROPPING EVERY THING to go help (Y/N)

Covenheads/Luz and the Hexside Gang: ... ????

Emperor Belos: This means nothing.

[lostuserr]

I do not know what it is and why I drew it, but nevertheless it exists.

I know that for most part of fandom Belos is a monster deserving of death, but nevertheless I still hope for the trope "redemption of the villain" in the finale...

Part 2

Philip Wittebane x Reader

----------------------------

You didn't think the time pools would actually work.

The topic of them came up during a conversation you were having with a store owner and reminded you of the days you used to pretend to find them. You had some makeshift toy that didn't really work, you would crawl into one side of a hollow log and exit out the other side acting like you were in the future.

It was fun as a kid so you thought to go back to that place and revisit those memories. You didn't expect to fall into the sand and end up centuries into the past. Your immediate reaction was to hop right back in and back away. As you scrambled out of the time pool you took a second to breathe.

Once the initial anxiety had died down a bit, a thought crossed your mind.. why not?

How many witches could really say they had been in a time pool? Most demons you knew didn't even believe in them and that included you until now. You had considered the risks, but the tide wouldn't be coming quite some time.

...Fuck it.

You stood up and peeked your head back in. The beach hadn't seemed to different too the one you were currently on, yet you had spotted a group of witches celebrating something. With what you remembered from your days at school you recognized the outfits as those from the Deadwardian era.

Then you realized you'd probably stick out a bit with your modern clothing, not to mention the bloody fly effect.

After you pulled yourself through the portal, you moved to the trees to grab a few large leaves and makeshift yourself a hat. Once you adjusted your clothes to look a little more aged and you were satisfied, you headed into the town.

It was so surreal to see things that you had only read in history books. What was even stranger was how calm and kind things were in this era. You were pretty sure that these were considered the savage ages, wasn't wild magic dangerously rampant?

Before you could dwell too much on the thought, the sound of a door slamming made you turn swiftly in the direction. You looked to see a man kick at the door before stumbling back and yelling at the person inside. He adjusted his jacket and began stomping off, too angry to notice that he had dropped something.

You rushed over to pick it up and tap his shoulder. The man audibly groaned before turning to you and as you held out the pen that he had nearly lost, your eyes widened.

"You're human." You spoke before you could stop yourself.

He paused before sighing and taking his pen from you harshly. "Here to poke fun? I'll have you know that I have no intention in wasting my time-"

You waved your hands panickedly. "No, I've just never met a human before." You couldn't help but have a genuine fascination in meeting someone from a completely different world.

There was a look of confusion, maybe conflict before it fell and he turned away. He wasn't sure what you were looking for from him but he wasn't going to fall for those sparkling eyes. There was clearly ill intent behind them, even if he couldn't see it just yet.

The man forced a smile and turned to leave, not expecting you to follow him. He looked over to you as you shoved your hands towards him and told him your name.

The human stopped, staring at you hard. He could see a determination in your eyes that told him he wasn't getting out of this easy.

He sighed before taking your hand and shaking it. "My name is Philip Wittebane."

You two had begun walking together, you were mostly taking in the sights while pointing at things you found interesting. He had tried several times to sneak off from you but you had stayed resilient.

Philip had decided to not waste his opportunity by asking you questions and you had plenty for him as well.

He wouldn't admit that he was sort of enjoying the company, it was simply a by product from traveling alone for as long as he had been.

That was it.

Philip had sat on a bench with you joining in the seat right beside him. You leaned into him and peeked at his journal, then you noticed that he was drawing the bird a few feet in front of the two of you.

You looked back and forth between it and then pointed excitedly at his sketch. "Hey, that's really good!"

He shot up and his voice stuttered. "Oh, uhm- Thank you."

It was a challenge trying not to react at how close you had gotten, he tried to force his focus onto his journal.

You seemed to be rather comfortable around him, the whole walk you spoke so passionately about everything you told him. He was trying to understand why you were so excited around him even when his answers had been cold and short.

Then he heard you gasp lightly and looked up to see what the issue was. He followed your eyes to a sketch he had done while you two had been walking. It wasn't anything impressive by his standards, a simple silhouette drawing of you and him.

"Is that me?" You questioned.

He nodded and felt his face grow red at the genuine smile on your face.

What is this?

What were you doing to him?

This curse that you had plagued him with forced words out of his mouth. "Do you.. like it?"

He didn't understand why he cared, in fact he shouldn't care what a witch had to say about his work. He didn't care.

He didn't have to force down a smile when you nodded and asked to see more drawings, he didn't purposefully scoot closer to you while you two looked through his book and he definitely did not sneak peeks at that adorable look on your face as you awed over his things.

Then came nightfall and you explained that you had to go and that you weren't sure that you could come back.

Philip nodded and held out his hand, he ignored the twist in his stomach and realized that it was for the best. Lest he fall to the temptation that had twisted his brother.

Instead of taking it, you pulled him in for a hug since you probably wouldn't see him again. The chance that you could find another time pool was incredibly rare and not to mention that this was four hundred years in the past.

You felt him slowly put his arms around you until you pulled away.

"Goodbye, Philip." You called out as you began to run towards the beach before the tide came in.

He waved to you, memorizing the sound of your voice and the look in your eyes. Perhaps he could not have you, as you were a demon and he would never see you again, but he could have your memory.

You made it to the time pools and took a couple tries before you had found your time and hopped back into it. As you got out to the other side and landed on top of the sand, you felt the tide hit your ankles. That was it then. You wondered if you could find something about Philip in the library somewhere.

Just to check if things had fared well for him.

The next week had been much calmer for you compared to the adventure you had gone on, but you still smiled at the fact that not only had you met a human but you befriended him.

No one would believe it.

As you carried your goods to the Emperor's castle and helped unloaded packages with a few other workers, you felt eyes on you. You looked behind you to see the Emperor himself, the fact that he had been there at all had surprised you.

It had even surprised you enough to miss the recognition in his eyes as he whispered your name under his breath.
