We’re no longer on hiatus but here have some owl house content

[solterel]

Okay but now that we’re all 80% sure that the clawthornes are actually descendants of Wittbro..

How are the those seven Lilith x Belos shippers feeling now? The ship was always really iffy because you know.. Belos. ( Enough should be said by just saying his name ) And now the evidence is adding up to support the fact that he is probably her great something uncle.

[solterel]

Okay since no one is talking about it I will. I think there is a whole another layer of messed up when looking at the whole Grimwalker situation. So let me explain:

So far we don’t have too much information on the whole Grimwalker process and how Belos even found out it was possible in the first place. So you may be wondering! What could make this crusty puritan wrinkly balls old man even worse? Well, it’s the fact that he likely raised each and every golden guard from “ birth “ and then watched them die when they ended up betraying him. And I use betray lightly, however, I’m going to come back to that later.

So far we can assume that there as been over 15 versions of the golden guard/clones of Philip’s brother. This means he raised 20 children himself,( to make things simpler I’m going to round up and assume that all made it to or close to adulthood ) Because the Emperor’s coven was only established 50 years before the start of the show that means that before he became emperor he was taking personal care of/looking after each clone. So you can’t really say that he was just pushing them onto someone else and only taking an interest within them once they became old to enough to be useful. It’s common sense, by making himself the only adult/parental figure in their lives, he would be alienating the clones and making them solely loyal and dependent on him due to them not knowing any different.

He had to be something to them. How many stories did he tell of a broken or dead family, how many lies did he tell of who he was to them? An older brother? A father, distant relative, maybe an uncle? There had to be some emotion attachment, some bond that tied them together apart from isolation. Otherwise why would the clones stay loyal? Inklings of kindness, of course, only when they did something right, something that pleased him, after-all, he was family and he took them in out of his grace.

It’s the fact he likely named all of them, held them, took care of them, taught them. This is not me trying to portray Belos in a sympathetic light, but only to demonstrate how much a horrible monster he is. Because even if they were his family, that was never enough to save them from the tortured fates they met at his hands. Someone who was supposed to love them unconditionally, at the bare minimum care for them in some capacity, ended each and every life he made.

And this made me wonder, what did the clones do to make Belos think they deserved such fates? How did Belos come to suddenly decide this, and not only do it once, but over and over again? I think back to what the Collector said, about how Belos probably likes to destroy them. What if he was looking for an excuse to kill them? To take out in built up resentment and anger upon them over small transgressions? This leads me to this:

Belos was likely using each one as a replacement for his brother, trying, over and over again to create the perfect version of him. However, none of them met his expectations. He wanted the perfect brother who wouldn’t betray him, the one he remembered, and they didn’t fit. So when the time was right he found an excuse to kill them off, replace them with another and try again. Even if he did raise them, nurture them, he murdered them all in cold blood. The clones probably loved Belos, or at least cared for him deeply, and in more dark sense, saw him as their father.

So essentially the part that makes the Hollow Mind reveal entirely all the worse was that Belos was essentially the only parental figure/father figure in their lives and raised all of the Golden Guard clones by himself to adulthood, only to later slaughter them every time.

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, this is just some of my thoughts strewn together incoherently but I just wanted to point this out. Also I didn’t see anyone talking about this. So just to emphasize the point. Dusty Puritan Bitch basically killed all of his kids repeatedly.

In light of the toh hiatus FINALLY being over, I’ve decided to present to all of you folks my glorious theories.

Theory 1: Belos is actually neither Philip or a Wittbane child at all…

He is basically the fourth Jonas brother of the Wittbane family/owl verse. This theory is based off the idea that both Philip and his brother, ( who for the sake of keeping things simple I’m going to call William ) DID go to the demon realm, except they had a third brother who tagged along and he was so irrelevant and no one liked him so they didn’t bother to mention he was there. So the third Wittbane brother is actually Belos. Now you be saying, that there’s absolutely NO evidence to support this. And I say to this: no. Why? Because there actually IS. First of all both Phillip and Belos sound similar, but have completely different voice actors! But if they were related, that would make sense. Okay that’s the theory moving on.

Theory 2: Belos is really tall because…

Emperor Belos is extremely hot tall because there are two people who are actually Belos. Now you may be asking, what does that mean?? Well my dear chump, William is obviously controlling the legs and Phillip is riding on his shoulders. It’s a three kids in a trench coat situation. It canonically explains where William is. But then you might say, but what about when Belos is without his cloak?? He’s standing normally there!!! Well it’s a quite obvious answer. William is hiding in a broom closet. How does Phillip get on William’s shoulders? No ladders are allowed/it would be suspicious therefore Phillip must take a running start and jump on his shoulders. It takes a few tries though. This all explains why Belos is so tall.

How did Hunter find out about Belos' curse was it the same way Luz found out about Eda's curse

[solterel]

Local god fearing puritan man goes to the boiling isles and finds out what close-up magic is

[solterel]

Philips brother died by going into cardiac arrest from seeing women wearing pants, I’ve said my peace.

[solterel]

I’d like to think that this happens regularly and Belos is mentally checked out, he just pretends he doesn’t see and walks away

[solterel]

Luz at the end of Yesterday’s Lie be like:

POV: You’re Hunter and you just found out you’re a clone of your uncle’s dead 1600s puritan brother and technically your uncle is your brother dad
