Holy shit the new episode...HOLY SHIT THE NEW EPISODE! Let's focus on the Collector for a moment.

First off, this episode definitely proves that the collector isn't evil or a bad kid. He's just a kid, a heavily traumatized one at that. He can't be any older than 10 both mentally and physically—he likes sparkles, stuffed animals, and bedtime stories (good lord this child is adorable), most kids grow out of that around age 12. This is what happens when you give a kid that young who doesn't even understand the concept of death the power to warp realities. He doesn't understand his actions—the things he does to people—have consequences. That it affects them whether it be mentally or physically. You could also argue that he doesn't understand that they aren't on an even playing field. That mortals can't "play" in the same way he can. He understands to some extent but he doesn't truly get it—take the capture the flag idea for example. King has to remind him that the losers won't be able to breathe on the moon.

Now, that "Bedtime Story". The scene was so small but it gave so much. He isn't The Collector, he's A collector. As Lilith later states, he has predecessors, predecessors that wiped out the titans. Judging by the way his eyes look when it's brought up while he's spying on them he probably feels guilty about it. That book seemed like a textbook of sorts, something to teach him his kind's history and the things he's supposed to do. We can see why they're called collectors, they "preserve" species. But if it's anything like the puppet situation people probably weren't too keen with it, especially considering that if Hooty is a reliable example (and it might honestly be 50/50) he proves that people who get turned into puppets have at least the slightest bit of consciousness. Which leads us to this

"But should they meddle in our affairs we'll clean the planet and scorch the air"

...We can all agree that sentence alone doesn't allude to good things, especially considering the titan genocide. But also take the poor child's reaction into account

That is fear, panic, like a bad memory is about to be dragged up. Whatever he's actually "supposed" to be doing is probably much worse than what he currently is. What he's doing is already god awful, but this honestly (horrifyingly) might be the lesser of two evils. This poor child isn't just traumatized from long term isolation and Belos, he might also be traumatized due to what being a collector entails—he could have been there for the titan genocide. God and we thought Hunter had it bad...

you know, the collector has a surprisingly strong moral compass despite the implications of his upbringing and 300-400~ years with Belos. even in ftf we see he has a strong opinion of what is ‘nice’ and ‘not nice’ is, and considers murder firmly ‘not friendly’. Even when Terra insults his best friend, he only turns her into a puppet. and he respects King’s boundaries.

like, for someone who has had such terrible role models, he’s kind of a saint.

it almost makes me wonder under what circumstances he taught Belos the draining spell. even though the Collector had all the knowledge Belos was seeking, he didn’t hold the power in the dynamic because the threat of being left alone must’ve been tortuous to him.

His behaviour around Belos (before Belos betrays him) actually almost seems like The Collector might’ve been “people-pleasing” around Belos, much like literally everyone else was. His behaviour when he’s with Belos vs when he’s with King seems pretty different.

I mean, In Belos’ memory of him, he enters the room on his own which implies he has some control over when he talks to Belos, but is still actively lonely (more on that further down) so he gives Belos alone time.

interestingly enough, The Collector only says he and Belos were ‘friends’, but within less than a day of knowing King he refers to them as best friends and seems to trust him a lot more than Belos. (Granted, King held up his end of the bargain when Belos didn’t.)

And just as interestingly, when he’s talking about being free he’s saying he ‘won’t be alone anymore’ which could imply that Belos is not enough company for him (he also suggests they make a third player, furthering that idea)

Even before Belos betrays him, he seems kind of suspicious.

He also refers to the draining spell/witch-hunting as Belos’ “chores”, which is interesting but I can’t express why rn

rambly bc I’m tired but it just makes me wonder if there might’ve been a little more outright blackmail than manipulation at times.
