I did a thing. Rapunzel-braid guy is @art-by-milo-catz's GG OC, Edmund. He is a good boy. The other two guys are two au Beloses, googled one is @jess-the-vampire's arofam Belos, the other is my tattoo au Belos. I just thought it'd be neat to draw 'em meeting (and being generalľy confused)

Elsewhere and Elsewhen "b-plot". It'd be hilarious if this was their relationship either in canon or AROFAM.

What do you think of good Belos au's / au's where he's not a complete piece of garbage?
I like them!
There are a few that I like, such as “Humanity and Its Consequences,” which is an AU where Philip and Luz swap places with each other. A few other fics I like are “Reasoning With Crazy,” “Blunt Force Trauma” (Philip gets hit on the head with a collapsing ceiling and ends up believing the backstory he made up to be Belos is real), and (naturally) “Was Not The Hero.”
Some AUs you can find here on tumblr that I’m fond of are The Bone of Ortet AU, the Twin Rulers AU, the AROFAM AU.
I love the way these different works illustrate the various aspects of Philip’s personality and show his growth and/or descent as time goes on. They’re interesting and well thought out. If that’s your cup of tea, I’d really suggest you give them a look!

A Time For Play
This fic is for @jess-the-vampire for her AROFAM au! I absolutely love the au, and I got inspired to write! Hope Jess likes it!
The day started like any other at the mud house, the family had a chaotic breakfast, Philip and Caleb sent Hunter off to school with hugs, kisses, and well wishes. Kiki had to go into town as it was her turn for grocery shopping. Steve was… doing whatever Steve does. Which left the brothers with some rare alone time.
Which is exactly what Caleb had been waiting for. He’d tried planning this out but… He was just gonna go for it!
“Philip? Can I ask you something? A request! A bit of an odd one, but I hope you say yes!” he beamed at his little brother from across the kitchen island. Philip rose a brow as he dried the dishes from breakfast, “A request? I suppose I’ll have to hear what it is before I make a decision.” Caleb chuckled, “Of course! I… well… Do you want to play? Like we used to!”
That gave the mud man pause, “...Play? Caleb, we’re grown adults. We don’t… “play” unless you mean play a board game or-”
“No! I mean play properly!” he interrupted, “I know we’re not children anymore but… I’ve missed playing with you. We used to have such fun when we were little! Even if those times are fraught with strife… I hold the memories of our games and adventures close to my heart still. I… was just hoping that we could just… try? If you hate it we can stop! Just… please?” Philip really did try to look away, but those bit sad brown eyes stared back at him, the perfectly practiced puppy dog eyes… He sighed with a grumble, “Fine. We can try and… play something. What did you have in mind?” Caleb immediately lit up, clasping Philips hands in his own. “Come! Follow me!” Philip had no choice but to follow as Caleb pulled him out the door and into the forest. He truthfully wasn’t not looking forward to this a bit, he’d missed his brother painfully over the centuries. He held onto the memories of their games just as Caleb had. A chance to relive that… well it was tempting if nothing else. The elder Wittebane stopped as they reached a spot a fair way into the woods, “We’re gonna play hide and seek tag! One of us hides-”
“Caleb I know how to play hide and seek tag.” he deadpanned, “I may be out of practice, but I haven’t completely forgotten how to play.”
Caleb rolled his eyes, but smiled. “Alright then Mr.SmartyPants, you’re gonna be It first!”
He sighed, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. “Very well. But first we need ground rules. No magic allowed from either of us, the house is the safe spot, and you can hide anywhere in the woods in a mile wide radius.”
“Very well, the game is afoot dear brother! I just hope you’re up to snuff.” he smirked, flicking the younger Wittebanes bangs. Said younger Wittebane glared with no heat behind it and turned around. “You have to the count of 30. Ready? One, two, three, four…”
Caleb took off, grinning like… well like a child. There were plenty of places to hide, he could climb a tree, in a nearby cave… But he’d been through these woods enough to know the perfect spot! A decently sized waterfall was a little ways away, it had a cave behind it that was perfect! He just needed to get there in time.
”...27, 28, 29… 30! Ready or not! Hear I come!” he called, walking leisurely in the direction Caleb had headed. He wondered if Caleb thought he had the advantage. Physically he did, but Philip had lived in the woods for years, been on the run, and these woods in particular were the ones he knew best. Every nook and cranny and possible hiding spot was known to him. Plus. Caleb’s boots left tracks. So… easy.
He looked around at the red trees around him, humming to himself a bit. He was honestly a bit surprised that Caleb had asked this of him. They had plenty of fun memories since he moved in with them. Playing board games with Hunter, going on hikes with Hunter, bringing Hunter to school… the occasional play fight with Hunter… Ok, he was starting to see the reasoning of his brother. It had been awhile since they’d done something fun just the two of them. 
He sighed to himself, this could still get bad quickly. Coven scouts could come by and attack them while they were alone. A monster could try and eat Caleb while he didn’t have Flapjack. He looked around, listening and keeping ready to run at a moment's notice. He felt like some kind of skittish rabbit. 
Finally, he paused. A waterfall, one he knew, there was a good sized alcove behind it… and muddy footprints leading part of the way inside. “Is he losing his touch, or is he trying to get caught?” he mused, gliding up the path and popping his head in. “Caleb? Are you here?”
It was silent in the alcove, not counting the roaring of the waterfall. He carefully stepped in, looking around. “Caleb? I saw your footprints, I know you’re here.” A muffle giggle was his answer, and he couldn’t help but smirk. “Caleb.” Suddenly, there was a cloak in his face, and the sound of running feet passing him, as well as a boyish cackle. “CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, OLDIE!” Philip took his brother's cloak off his face, carefully folded it, tucked it into his own cloak, and took off after his brother. “YOU’RE OLDER THAN ME!”
Another bright cackling laugh was the response his brother gave. He was really enjoying himself… wasn’t he? Caleb looked over his shoulder briefly, racing through the forest with ease. Jumping over logs, ducking under branches, he barely even needed to think as he ran. Titan this was so exhilarating! It was sensational! It was fun! It was so much fun! Being chased by his brother through the woods, laughing at him and teasing him all the way! Oh it brought back such wonderful memories! “WHAT’S WRONG PIPPINS! CAN’T MOVE LIKE YOU USED TOO?”  he called, laughing at the small rock that sailed past his head. “MISS ME! MISS ME! NOW YOU GOTTA KISS ME!” “CALEB, STOP BEING A CHILD!” his baby brother called back, just prompting more laughter.
He burst through the foliage and grinned as he saw the house, “SO SORRY PIPPINS! LOOKS LIKE I-ACK!” The sudden weight on his back was certainly a surprise. “What the- Philip!” Philip let out a breath as he sat on Caleb’s back. “Gotcha. Guess this means you’re it.” Caleb blinked, then blinked again, then grinned, and then fell into a giggle fit. “Okay! Okahahay! You got me! Hehehe!” Philip couldn’t stop the chuckle that left him, his brother's laughter proving too infectious. “Alright… I’ll admit. That was pretty fun.”
“Oh we’re not done yet!” Caleb smirked, suddenly flipping Philip over and grinning down at him. “First, I’m it now, so you have to run and hide this time! And there’s lots of other games I wanna play with you today!” He enunciated this point with a poke to Philip's stomach.
Both brothers were surprised by the squeak that left the younger Wittebanes' lips. Philip’s face quickly ran the gamut from surprised, to embarrassed, to utter dread. Especially when Caleb’s face absolutely lit up. “Pip.” he gasped, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. “You don’t mean to tell me… you’re still ticklish?”
Philip wiggled under his brother, looking around desperately. Mostly hoping no one came around to see this. “No! Of course not! I outgrew that centuries ago!”
“Are you suuuure?” he smirked, poking his stomach again. 
This time Philip was prepared and he didn’t make a sound. Unfortunately… he’d lied, he was still ticklish. Something he’d only realized just now. “I’m sure.” Caleb hummed, “Now, for some reason. I don’t believe you. I think I’m gonna test it! I’m pretty sure I remember your ticklish spots, from when you were just a little baby Pip!” Philip glared, trying to wriggle free. “I’m telling you I’m not! Caleb get off of me!”
Caleb did no such thing, poking at his stomach, “I remember when you were little, I’d poke your belly, and you’d curl up all cute while giggling your head off!” Philip frowned harshly, wiggling and kicking. “C-Caleb! Get o-off!” “But it wasn’t that bad of a spot.” he hummed, pointedly ignoring his brother's command. “Your worst spot waaaaas…. Oh yes! Right here!” He suddenly shoved his hands under Philip's arms, wiggling his fingers around like snakes.
Philip gasped, biting the inside of his cheek, shaking his head and wiggling harder. He fought down the rising laughter with all he had, it seemed it was still a bad spot.
“What’s wrong Pip? Does it tickle?” Caleb teased, wiggling his fingers faster, “Come on Pippy! It’s just us right now, you can laugh if you want!” Philip shook his head, “I d-don’t need to la-haugh!” “Seems like you doooo!” he sang, jiggling his hands in Philip underarms. “Come on Pip! Just a liiiittle giggle?” Damnit, the jiggling broke him. “AH! Nohohohoho! Get ohohooff! Ahahahahahaha! Caleheheheb! This is undihihhihignifihiihihied!” “There you go!” he cheered, and giggled. “Of course it’s undignified! That’s the whole point! But I mean… if you really want this to be “undignified” I can make that happen!”
“Caleb- Caleb don’t you DARE!” he cried as his shirt was lifted to expose his stomach, and his brother gave him an evil grin. “Oh… I dare.” He quickly took a deep breath, and to Philip embarrassment, blew a Titan forsaken raspberry. Which proved to be humiliatingly effective against the younger Wittebane. “AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHOHO! NAHAHAT THAHAHAT! KNOHOHOHOCK IT OHOHOHOFF! AHAHAHAHAAHAH!” he cried, pushing at his brother's face and kicking to try and break free.
“Never! I haven’t heard you laugh like this in years!” Caleb laughed, blowing another volley of raspberries, making Philip squeal, to his utter shame. Thank the Titan no one here to see this.
“GEHEHEHET OHOHOHOFF MEHEHEHEHE!” he cried, finally managing to get his feet under Caleb and kick him off. He rolled away, panting and giggling. “You… You will regret that…” “Uh-huh, I’m sure.” Caleb grinned from his spot on the dirt. Philip glared at him, but there was no heat behind it. Honestly… as loath as he was to admit it… That was genuinely fun. Playing games, laughing with his brother, even the tickling wasn’t as unbearable as he’d make his brother believe.
Caleb sat up, looking at his baby brother lovingly. “Hey… you still up for another round? I’m it.” Philip looked at him for a moment, smiled a bit, and without warning, took off into the forest. “CATCH ME IF YOU CAN WITTEBABY!”
Caleb beamed, “OH I WILL!” and when his brother was out of sight, he softened “I’ll always find you eventually Pip…”

So Philip went through a Beard phase…
Tumblr media
I guess I can throw my headcanon that his curse stopped his hair from growing in the trash
It’s scary how close I got to the canon Philip/Belos transition design wise (except the point of the hermit au is that Belos is not that adverse to wild magic as canon)

Hey, I stumbled across your last post addressing the toh blog critiquing fans of belos and how they engage with the show and i'd like to put my 2 cents in as an au creator who has belos featured in my aus.
When I made arofam, I was just goofing around, it was before s2 officially aired and I thought at work one day "oh, belos and this gg kid look like parallels to luz and eda, wouldn't an au swapping them be funny?". I made that au based solely on that, and everything after that was straight up just me trying to work around everything the show was throwing at me and try and adapt it in the au. It became more emotional with time, but it wasn't built on a foundation of trying to make his canon self less bad nor excuse anything he did. (Undoubtedly that goofy au just made me more invested in those characters over time).
Like we didn't even know belos's plans, his abuse of the ggs, his brother, nothing, when I made the au. The show really had to make me work to make belos likable in my au after that.
I say this because it's why it's wrong to always make assumptions about ppl based on what they create or are engaged in. You don't have to like the content yourself, but there's a variety of reasons ppl make aus with philip in a prominent role. Some wanna explore him in unique ways that canon can't, some are intrigued by his backstory and wanna play with that, and some are like me who just woke up one day and thought " Ok, but what if we did a silly with him?".
It would be wrong to categorize everyone into one box, with the same ideals and same opinions. Not everyone will have the same draws but assuming the worst of a fan who likes to play with the main antagonist in noncanon work or personally have different opinions on his execution in the show is extremely judgemental and hurtful because a lot of these fans are just having fun and have very little malicious intent.
If you have criticism of the work and wanna kindly address it to the creator, then sure, they might be allowed to give their opinions on where they were coming from while they're at it in case the work was misinterpreted.
But you can genuinely hurt ppl and creators by throwing them under a " bad person" label without allowing yourself to understand them or their work and why they made the choices they did.
I guess the point I'm making here is, fans engage with the media they like for a number of reasons, if you're going to make accusations on them, at least have clear solid reasons rather then basing it on pure assumptions based on work that might not even really be that deep in the first place or even just the comments of a few fans.
If they're being purposely malicious and awful then sure.
But sometimes it's really not that deep, some ppl just wake up one day and wanna imagine a swap au with belos or wanted a cooler death.
People shouldn't be crucified online for that.
100% agree with you there! I've stated before that this fandom has a tendency to connect a person's morality to the type of media they consume or how they engage with it. It's really unsettling, tbh.
You don't like AUs that redeem Belos? Or make him a goofy uncle? Or make Caleb the evil emperor?
Then don't read them. You're not the target audience.
In other words...
Tumblr media
I hope any and all creators with a Belos AU aren't discouraged because some ninny on the net, who thinks they're the arbiter of social justice, got mad because they decided to have fun with a fictional character.
Fandom is not activism.
Just chill and let people put the old man in a dress.
