GUYS GUYS GUYS. CAN WE TALK ABOUT THIS PIC THOUGH??? (look down on this post)
I know we're all emotionally wrecked after hollow mind, but look
And it got me really wondering, what happened between Belos/Philip (idk what to call your bitchass abusive fuckhead) and his brother.
Belos' brother and him end up in the Boiling Isles. Philip is afraid, angry, and mostly, does NOT want to be there.
He takes in with interest every creature, he's amazed, he looks nearly luminous just walking around, being surrounded by magic itself.
And this makes Belos livid with rage. How can he love those monsters? How can he be amazed by those freaks of nature? By those lunatics?
He cannot tell. And whatever his brother tries again and again, to tell Philip that magic is friendly, magic can be safe and good, he rejects it.
The world goes grey for him. Philip's brother was enourmed with something that he saw as dangerous and vicious. How could it be?
At some point they fight, i dunno, don't have an idea, but-
The fight and they're both tired and angry and the brother pushes the line and-
Philip is hit hard, choking, his back hits a tree and his brother freezes, paling momentarily. His vision twists and twirls, and swims, and it hurts, but now he realizes.
His brother chose magic over him.
Instead of his own brother.
Philip possibly pushes him away, snarling at his, now, enemy. His brother attempts to apologize, but it's too late. Much too late.
An hour later Philip's hands are still tainted with blood, forever will be. Murderer. Brother killer.
But he tried to kill me first! Magic tried to kill me!
Magic is at fault for making my brother go mad.
When rain comes, he stands in place, letting the droplets wash him. He lets them fall across his face, down his stained clothes and numb expression.
Magic made him kill his brother. Magic was at fault for all of this. And he'd make it pay damn well.
Anyways this is maybe more my headcanon then theory but oh well. Hope you enjoyed.
