I noticed something about this scene. Yes, the Collector got the idea of kindness and forgiveness from Luz, and he is so excited to show her how well he learned, but that’s not the only reason he wants to forgive Belos.
Belos was his only friend for 400 years.
We know how manipulative Belos is, he has the ability to know exactly how to tell people what they want to hear, so the Collector probably ADORED Belos during all of their time in the mirror. In the Collector’s eyes, Belos was truly their friend. Sure, he lied in the end, sure he betrayed them, but in their mind Belos’s betrayal probably felt the same as King’s betrayal. Belos is probably just lonely too.
And Luz is Goddamniting so hard because Belos is going to destroy this child and it’s all because she had to go and teach him the power of love.
They are JUST SO DAMN PROUD OF THEMSELF! They honestly thought they fixed it and They are so happy! Now that they learned the secret of being a friend, they can show it to Belos and they can be friends again. Even better, his old best friend and his new best friends can all be friends together and it’s going to be great!
He. Is. Just. So. Happy.
So when Belos attacks and Luz has to save them, they are genuinely confused. It doesn’t make sense. They did exactly what Luz told them, so why didn’t it work? And how does Luz react?
Luz tells him that he did good. Because she is genuinely proud of him. He did the worst thing he could possibly do in that situation, he made a mistake that put everyone in danger, but she IS proud of him. She is so proud he heard her lesson and she is going to protect that lesson to her dying breath.
He is so rattled and confused right now, and her number one priority is to comfort him and reinforce that he did the right thing, even if it was in the wrong situation. She comforts him and tells him that it’s just a little complicated. She is just so gentle and so loving, and my heart can’t handle it!

The last day of August came with unexpected warmth, but since tomorrow is September, I decided to subtly decorate for fall anyway. The day was spent at my favorite café just before my lecture in church and cloister architecture in the Middle Ages. Now I am back home, with lots of tea again, studying some more while waiting for the cool evening to come. 🎞️🏛️🕰️☕️
