#they called him belos

I think Philip's death was not what be deserved.

I don't mean this as in "he shouldn't of died" because i think we all knew that's how his story would always end,My actual issue is HOW he died.

He didn't die feeling bad, maybe he was a bit scared but he didn't have to face the consequences of his actions (atleast not all of them). He had no realisation that everything he'd done was wrong. He didn't see hunter, or caleb, or anyone else on the boiling isles who's he caused lasting damage to. He didn't suffer, instead he gets stomped on, barely painful.

During the entirety of Season (and the last couple eps of season 2), its been shown that Philip knows deep down that he's guilty, and its shown even more with the Hallucinations of Caleb and the Grimwalkers. But he's too stubborn and too far ahead to admit he was wrong. I thought that was what WAD was going to be, Philips 'realisation' and ending.

All in all it was anticlimactic.

A bit of historical context behind this line.

After watching the newest Owl House episode, I think a funny cosplay group would be several people dressed up as various Golden Guards + Caleb, with one other person as Belos. And then throughout the time spent at a convention, they all just torment him the whole time.

TOH AU where Belos manipulated The Collector so badly they turned delusional 😭 As in "Nahhh Philip did nothing wrong!!! he's still my best friend!! it was a misunderstanding !!!' delusional

[Image description: screenshot from The Owl House of King saying: "No one wants to think they've wasted their life following the wrong person." End description.]

The thing about rewatching Hollow Mind, after the finale, is realizing this sentiment isn't just about Belos's followers, or about Luz initially looking up to Philip. In fact, it's just as much about Belos himself.

No one wants to admit you spent years chasing a brother who didn't want to go home. Who wasn't the witch hunter he once claimed to be. Who, in every reincarnation, still won't become the person you wanted him to be.

No one wants to admit that — for the centuries you saw yourself as following your God, doing what He required of you to save humanity's souls, and wipe out the Devil's witchcraft — that you were the only one doing evil. That your devout faith and countless sacrifices were misplaced, and that your former home has moved on from witch hunts anyway.

No one would want to admit any of that, and in combination with Belos's personal obsession with being a hero, it becomes clear he was never going to admit it. Not even on his deathbed. Because that would be nearly four hundred wasted years on his conscience, four hundred years of following the wrong people, and how could he possibly let himself believe that?

TGE. THE WAY IN THE BELOS FIGHT. WHEN LUZ SHOOTS MAGIC AT HIM BUT PURPOSELY MISSES. THE WAY THEY’RE A LOT HEAVIER ON GUS’S ILLUSIONS THAN WILLOW’S VINES. THE WAY AMITY’S ONLY USE OF ABOMINATIONS IS TO SAVE LUZ FROM FALLING INTO THE WATER AND THE REST OF THE TIME THEYRE JUST FLYING AROUND ON THEIR STAFFS. THEY DON’T WANT TO HURT HUNTER

Can I call Brother's Keeper Caleb babygirl

Wait they're in a car? How did that--?? Wait do you know what that means???!?

Congrats, anon, you did it! They've been saved through the power of meme logic

Menace to society

[sporesgalaxy]

my experience being a Belos fan (who wants to kick his ass) is constantly being reminded that not everyone went through the process of becoming consciously aware of and working to shed the specific horrible mental state one uses to justify allowing/enacting harm against the people one loves. And therefore not everyone can just look Philip in his sad dead eyes and Understand with wretched clarity what went so terribly, odiously wrong in there.

Crossover ship made in the deepest trenches of hell I thought of after finishing Nimona.

Yeah, speaking exclusively about the film, the Director doesn't read as that old, but technically speaking Phillip has just been expanding his lifetime so he's still young at heart and it's not too big of an age gap, which is good because otherwise this wholesome ship would be problematic ~satire~~satire~~satire~

Hey have you ever thought about how the existence of the grimwalkers that Belos made (and how there were so many of them) most likely contributed to the Collector not really knowing/understanding how death works

Every time Belos would "break" a grimwalker, he'd just "fix" them (by that, I mean he'd just make a new one)

And yeah, WE know that the grimwalkers weren't all the same (despite all being clones of the same dude), but the Collector probably didn't know that.

And if Belos referred to all/some (or at least, more than just Hunter) of the grimwalkers as being his nephew(s?), then it's not too much of a stretch to assume that the Collector may have thought they *were* all the same

FINALLY CAN POST THIS ART THATS BEEN DONE FOREVER.

Read if you want to see Hunter, Luz, King, The Collector, and Belos's latest trauma child go through the wringer. Updates every Saturday (hopefully)
