Now I feel bad for disappointing you 😔 Here’s something that’s been reworked several times 🤧:
A skeptic darling who gets invited to the cult (as a sacrifice), only to end up being so annoyingly cynical about his cult’s doings that Philza genuinely goes yandere over the desire to convert them to his teachings. serial killer!Philza x accomplice!darling anyone?? 👀
Alternatively, a darling seeking him out (having heard of the killings), wishing to die by his hand, which in turn leads to them not only piquing his curiousity but also turning him into an obsessive yandere who wants nothing more than to “vivisect” his darling’s mind and know everything there is to them.
I’ve told they’re meh but at least I tried ig 🗿
Oh those seemed like good concepts! What I had planned semed a bit more.... well

One of those killers that you would have to come across instead of him coming across you. A real "lives in the middle of butt fuck nowhere". The nearest town relative to where he lives is over seven miles away.
As much as Philza definitely takes great joy in ending lives, he swears its for the goddess of death that saved his life. Philza had a near death experience years ago and he believed he was visited by her in his dreams. She blessed him with good health and youth so he pays her back in blood.
Since Philza is so far from civilization, he normally waits for people to come driving by his farm. He had nails thrown across the road to force cars to stop and would play the nice farmer that had pleanty of spare tires to pass around.
Its a simple routine but it worked for him. He typically took them straight to his goddesses slaughter house but sometimes when he really took a shine to a victim, he'd pray for forgivness as he delay or desecrate a sacrifice at his altar. He was a depraved and lonely man after all. He knew no companionship but the animals and Death herself.
That of courses changes one day when among his latest unfortunate victims is them. The second he sees their face he knows it- Philza's embarassed to not have been prepared for his goddess to send him the gift he prayed for most.
He's just so giddy as he goes through the motions, becoming so excited that he breaks routine a bit by dragging his darling to his goddess's house of worship first before the rest of their companions.
When all is right, he begins to hum his hymns and prayers in thanks to his goddess as he sacrifices everyone but his darling.
Philza looks absolutely mad as he babbles on like he's conducting a marriage ceremony, dragging his darling to the center of the altar and undressing them. His faith in his goddess doubles as he consummates his "marriage" to his gift right then and there.
Life after that is so much better, waking up next to his bound and unruly darling, reminding them he loves them so much before he does his usual work on the farm. It takes about a week before Philza comes to a conclusion that his darling needs to learn devotion and who better to be their teacher than their lover? All it will take is to make them pray as he forces them to take blood onto their hands.
