Belos/Philip meeting reader in the episode where they go into the tide pools episode is called any where and elsewhere I think also reader is male and it’s romantic and Philip is a huge simp lol
Oh gods that's one of my favorite episodes!!! His poor nose, but Ngl in makes him hot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Tumblr media
[This is gonna be short ans sweet because I honestly couldn't think of anything for the longest time if you couldn't tell "OwO]
Luz is readers sibling
You honestly hand no idea where you were, one minute you were with Luz and lilith and the next you were on a beach.
You wondered trying to find your little sister but to no avail.
That was until you heard her yelling that's when you had to step in.
You saw her, lilith, and a strange man with a very big beard, he looked human like you and luz.
You walked over and greeted your sister and lilith along with the strange man who called himself philip, he asked for your help in finding something so like the good people you were you accepted.
He took you all to a temple (I dont remember much of this episode since it's been a while since I watched TOH but bear with me please)
You were amazed by the architecture it looked so dystopian, it was beautiful.
You didnt even catch Philip staring at you, he seemed to grow a liking to you. Philip wanted to know more about you.
Soon the doors opened and out came a monster you were mad and reasonably so, a man you half heartedly trusted tried to sacrifice you, your sister, and aunt!
After the whole ordeal you watched as your aunt punched him and left along with your sister, you'll catch up to them in a minute but you had one last thing to say before you left.
You got real close to his face and looked dead into his eyes before saying:
"If I ever see you again, I will do a lot worse than breaking your nose"
You left him to his thoughts his heart pounding, he'll definitely look for you. Until then he has to get stronger and reach his goals.
{Hope you liked this anon! Hearts and reblogs are always welcomed, along with questions,comments, and requesrs.}

Hollow Mind.
           Oh god oh fuck.
         HUNTER WASN’T THE FIRST. The Collector outright mentioned predecessors, and Belos mentioned he killed them. He called them GRIMWALKERS, which means Hunter already IS one. And he said it… A ‘better’ version of an old friend. We can see glimpses of his brother in the memories, his nose slashed, BUT WE KNOW…!
         Did the previous Golden Guard have a bile sac? And Belos made Hunter WITHOUT one, so he couldn’t rebel as easily? Is that why Darius remembers him as having magic, or did the previous Golden Guard have no magic, he just did a better job at hiding it?! Belos… Belos KILLED them. And the Collector, he called out Belos on it; Did he ENJOY it??? And even to the Collector, Belos claims it hurts every time… But he could still be lying to him and himself.
         And I was right! The Collector is some kind of demented, immature, godly child that wants to play games all day, and he’s looking forward to the Day of Unity! Is the Collector manipulating Belos, or are they mutual allies? Luz suggests the spell is going to commit mass genocide on all life in the Demon Realm… Or does the Collector plan on collecting it? He mentions he’s ‘in the bones’, what if he really IS the Titan??? Or a spawn of the Titan… The Titan’s Spawn, remember that book title from Understanding Willow???
         (Do appreciate the recognition of Willow have two inner selves due to strong emotions... Boy did she have those.)
         Oh my god… The ‘curse monster’ isn’t a beast that Belos got trapped in his body, at least I don’t think… IT’S THE AMALGAMATION OF ALL THE PALISMEN SOULS BELOS ABSORBED, TRYING TO DESPERATELY BREAK OUT!!! Oh fuck… Oh god, and Belos ABSORBED THEM TOTALLY. And he said he couldn’t do it without having people in his mindscape to distract the Palisman beast…
         Oh god, DID BELOS LET THE REBELS ENTER HIS MIND?!? So his inner self could use them to distract the Palisman beast, but then it ended up being Luz and Hunter… And Belos adapted??? DOES BELOS KNOW WHO THE REBELS ARE!??! And he’s just letting them get away with it, because he needs them, doesn’t want to alert them that HE knows, so they stay close by? Hunter mentions Flapjack’s name while inside Belos’ mind, Belos def knows by now if he didn’t before!
         Philip was a witch hunter. Is Jacob Hopkins his descendant?! Was his brother a witch hunter too, but he renounced this?! And so by ‘better’ version, ‘Hunter’ is a version of his brother that actually fulfills the role they were given?! The witch who brought them to the isles… Were they trying to KILL that witch, and fell in after them!?
         Oh fuck… Still, that theory is looking more likely; That maybe Belos might die with all of the palismen within him bursting forth, as a NEW palistrom tree grows from his body, consuming him this time… Or not. Is Belos no longer plagued by the palisman monster? Did he truly, totally digest what was left of the palismen’s souls, fragments merged into one Frankenstein soul, and they’re ALL dead??! It’s like Fullmetal Alchemist… Father having the souls of those he absorbed fighting within him, lashing out; Only for Father to absorb and crush their consciousness regardless!
         HE KILLED THOSE WITCHES. They were ‘alive’, but disabled, without staffs, stranded at the knee and their city in ruins. Oh god… Those ruins weren’t OLD, they were RECENT! The Knee ruins were recent! The bodies… OH GOD THE SKULLS! Did the Slitherbeast’s skulls come from its own victims, and/or those witches?! Did it EAT those vulnerable witches?!? And there’s confirmation that Belos wasn’t applying sigils back in Eda’s childhood, because he hadn’t perfected them yet; They immediately paralyze witches and JUST that, which is a hard sell.
         And that’s why he cloned the basilisks, to study… So he could actually DRAIN their magic, instead of causing paralysis; And withhold that draining. While still restricting the bile sac…
         And PRIM! Seeing her join a coven out of fear was heartbreaking… And Raine! AND DARIUS, we saw how he MOVED forward when Hunter was mentioned! Were the rebels still in the woods when Hunter ran out, will they find and take him in!? DAMMIT HOOTY, you should’ve caught Hunter! And does Hooty recognize Raine, given he calls them a secret admirer, or was it just a play on the flowers as an ingredient?! Uncle Darius confirmed but at what cost…
         Raine clearly wants to help Eda is probably starting to realize that their secrecy, meant to protect her kids, is actually backfiring after all; So hopefully we get that revelation soon! Eda’s gonna be mad… AND THE TITAN’S BLOOD! No more; Which as King pointed out, Luz was gonna die without it. And Belos… GOD, the way he plays his own memories as Philip to make Luz say his name again, that was so DARK and clever! And I was right; Belos can manifest in his own memories because of how powerful he is!
         Which makes me think/wonder if he deliberately set this all up to catch the rebels AND the palisman monster… Or he doesn’t bother shielding his mind too well, because in his mind, he’s invincible. Belos can absorb people as he pleases; So if anything he WANTS people trapped in his mind, where Belos has full control and power! Raine, Darius, Eberwolf… GET OUT NOW! And damn… Hunter even notices that Darius is sad at his knighting, because he’s just bitterly reminded of his mentor. Hunter doesn’t know what happened but Belos KILLED them! He killed them all!
         Right now there’s still room for the time travel theory for Belos by the way; We only see him introduce himself as ‘Belos’, so unless he erased records of a dude named Belos from centuries ago… He only started that recently. And he says he used the name because EVERYONE knew Philip was a messed-up dude and had heard of him… Was he wandering for centuries as Philip?! And his brother, the childhood photos…!
         And Hunter. Hunter’s freakout. But he still does the right thing and saves Luz with HER glyphs… And Luz! Does she have proof, she doesn’t; And while her friends will trust her, while Raine and the rebels will obviously believe, what proof does she have? A recording on her phone, what?! And the hypocrisy of Belos dismissing Luz as ‘can’t reason with CRAZY’ like bitch look at yourself!
         A lot of theories confirmed, but still more unseen, or at least obscured; It’s confirmed for the audience, but Hunter and Luz don’t quite know he’s a clone of Wittebro. Just that he’s yet another clone of SOMEONE dear to Belos… Which, Luz might remember the drawing of Wittebro she saw in Philip’s journal and make that connection. My poor girl has so much to process… And just UGH that rancid ‘solidarity’ Belos tries to invoke with Luz, being glad to have a human say his name, as if it really matters that much! 
        But we still haven’t seen Wittebro, nor do we get a full confirmation on how Belos survived so long, aside from palisman essence perhaps… But I think we know his motives now, and it’s that he was ALWAYS like that. He always wanted to kill witches because he was raised that way; No tragedy besides ‘upbringing’ I suppose. Only his brother realized the truth… And for this ‘betrayal’, Belos killed him.
        Oh god. Oh fuck.

Who said I love you first reader or Belos because you said in that post on ao3 that Saying I love you made him worry so this kinda what goes through my mind when I think about what it would’ve been like if reader said it first
Reader: I love you
Belos:…I LEFT THE OVEN ON *then proceeds to run away like a coward*
Oops! You wanted something funny, but this is what I made instead. Sorry! I hope that you like it anyways - it's stuff that's been marinating ever since I first started writing for Belos, (in a google doc somewhere, dated right after 'Eclipse Lake' came out, I have the sentence 'local man pretends he isn't deeply in love with a woman who doesn't fully mean it when she says 'I love you', which is often) but it's not something I've explored deeply, and I put some of it down off the cuff here, so if it reads as a little underdeveloped, that's because it is.
CW: Abusive relationships, isolation, lying to a partner about their safety to keep them from leaving
Oh, yeah, you said it first, but Belos had fallen in love with you way before you'd ever spoken the words, even if he wouldn't admit it to himself.
Wanna know a secret?
You didn't mean it.
Not the first time, at least. Sure, you've meant it plenty of other times afterwards, but not the first time. And not the second one, either. When did you say it, and mean it? Oh, right -
It had been early, the cool light of the morning spilling in through the artificial windows of your bedroom, and you had awoken, unexpectedly, to find him still sleeping. Very rare. The bedtime braid his hair was in had softened, going a little wild with the texture of it, the blonde catching the faint sun in a gray halo.
In sleep, he loses some of the animal tenseness that suffuses him, undetectable behind his confidence and overwhelming power. But he's always watching, waiting. For what, you're not sure. You don't know if he knows what he's so guarded against.
He's pretty.
The lines that grace his face, around his lips and eyes, the black circles that make your heart ache, the crooked break in his nose, the curse that runs down from his forehead through his neck and all over his body, pitted, like flesh through the lens of bark - all of it comes together, and makes him so pretty. There's this quiet boyishness about him, and in this relaxation it comes through so strongly.
You look at him, and you're weighed down. You inhale, softly. Oh! This was it for you. This was the person that you'd fallen for. This was the only one who you're ever going to want to be with, for better, or for worse.
You love him, and it hurts.
His eyes move behind their lids as he stirs, opening them to catch you staring.
"Hi," you had whispered.
"Good morning," he had murmured, sleepy voice giving you those good shivers.
"I'm in love with you," you had told him. He smiles at you, searches your face.
"And I'm all the better for it," he had said.
Yeah. Anyways.
You're pretty smart. In the back of your mind, you know that this whole thing is off. The stories that he tells you of wild witches, about the Isles - you have no way to know for sure, but it can't be as dangerous out there for you as he says it is. Humans are rare - so rare, in fact, that you're one of the very few known to the Isles, but your bodies are immensely potent spell components? From teeth to toes? So valuable that there are those that would stop at nothing to get you, even if it meant going through the Emperor, the greatest witch to ever live?
What? How does that even make sense? Only a handful of humans have ever slipped through the cracks of reality, and yet they're integral to ritual magics so great and terrible that there are those who would risk it all just for a chance at casting a single spell? Who the fuck could R&D that with such a limited resource? Who could know if it's true? How do you test it? Who wrote it down in the first place?
And why does he seem more comfortable with letting you be known to others once the two of you start to become intimate? Like he's got you where he wants you, so sure that you won't try to leave him. It's not something you think about. You try really hard to avoid it, you can't really do anything about it. You're- not stuck. You could leave if you wanted to. It's just a vague disquieted feeling, not enough to worry about. Right? And, well.
You know that he's powerful, that he can be... less than kind to those under his rule, something that would make you turn and run if you were in the human realm, but. You're not in the human realm. This isn't your home - this is a society with millennia of history that you can barely grasp, a sociopolitical tangle the likes of which you couldn't have dreamed of. Not your world, not your business, not your place to force your framework of morality on, even if the whole thing makes your skin crawl in quiet moments. You're not a witch. You're just some girl, who somehow landed in the lap of the Emperor himself.
So, like.
Ya gotta get home. That's pretty fuckin' crucial, actually. And Belos is the only person who can do that. At least, that's what he says, and you're not really in a position to doubt him - who else would help you, anyways? If there's even a modicum of truth to the whole 'wild witches will steal your guts and keep you barely alive to drain your blood for forever' thing, you have to be careful.
It's not like it's hard to stay on his good side - it's not like it even feels like staying on his good side. The two of you somehow get along super well, after you got over how fucking scary he is, despite the everything difference. Age, background, life experience.
He's just so charming. He's funny, with this unexpected playful side that you find so engaging, he's brilliant, eloquent, and his voice, God. Tall, handsome, attentive, the whole package, too perfect. It's not like you don't like him - you really, really do. But love? Mm. Eventually, yes, but now when you say it for the first time.
It's easy to get swept away by how he makes you feel. Being with him is just so easy, that those words tumbling over the tip of your tongue past your teeth feels just like breathing. And it makes him happy, so happy. He thinks that he's Machiavelli's second coming - and he is, in so many ways - but he's not as unreadable as he thinks he is. It's the eyes, in the vibes, the little subtle things that your hind-brain just knows, on this primal level, like your heartbeat, the backs of your hands.
It's kinda funny, actually - he likes to say that you were made for him, when the two of you make love.
And maybe you were.
Maybe you were.
God, you're tired.

This is a continuation of this post I made the other day: https://its-rat-time-babey.tumblr.com/post/682475975290880000/so-i-realized-something-about-hunter-you-know-how
———————————————————————————————————————
So I was thinking about how Hunter’s grimwalker physiology makes him immune to the boiling waters of the isles and I started thinking about just how different Hunter’s body must be compared to the average witch. So now I have a bunch of headcanons about the differences between Hunter and other witches. Here they are.
Hunter is extremely heavy and physically strong compared to a witch. A generally accepted headcanon I’ve seen is the fact that witches are very light and aren’t very strong physically when compared to a human, the most common reasons I’ve seen for this being:
The bile sack takes up quite a bit of space so other organs like the lungs and heart must be smaller and by extension weaker so the bile sack fits properly.
Witches have been relying on magic for their entire lives and just don’t need to rely on physical strength much.
Luz, who claims to have “weak nerd arms” was able to carry Amity like she weighed next to nothing.
So witches are pretty light and not very athletic compared to humans.
But now think about what grimwalkers are made of:
Tumblr media
Selkidomus Scales for the skin. (Thick, fireproof, magic resistant and heavy).
Palistrom Wood used as keratin and probably cartilage as well, meaning fingernails, hair, nose, ears, and parts of the bone. (Wood is pretty darn heavy, especially when compared to actual keratin, cartilage and bones).
Gladorstones for providing power and serving as the heart. (gladorstones are rocks, and decently sized ones at that. You can’t tell me that they’re light).
Stonesleeper lungs serving as lungs. (Probably pretty heavy considering how big stonesleepers are and their ability to petrify themselves and live, but in the long run they’re just lungs. Massive Lungs that can turn into very heavy stone in the right conditions, but organic lungs nonetheless).
Bone of orlet. (Just bones. Nothing to say here).
Point is all the stuff used to create Hunter weighs a ton and since he’s made of that stuff, so is he. Luz can pick up a witch that’s around Hunter’s age and size like a sack of potatoes, but she struggles to lift Hunter an inch off the ground.
Secondly is Hunter’s physical strength. He stronk. Especially when compared to a witch. He doesn’t have any magic, but he’s got plenty of physical strength, and I have some proof of this.
At the end of hollow mind, Hunter runs out of the owl house. He just swings the front door open and runs. But the house was on lockdown and we were already shown that there were like four different latches on the front door alone. So that begs the question; how did Hunter open the door so easily?
The only obvious answer is that he forced the door open hard enough to break the latches. He broke four metal locks simultaneously in one single, fluid motion. He didn’t struggle or even seem to notice that he did it. So Hunter’s clearly got some serious muscle.
There’s also his staff and how he fights.
First of all, his staff is made from metal. This is because it uses artificial magic like Belos’s staff. But a heavy metal staff also plays into how Hunter fights.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hunter seems to prefer fighting up close and personal and constantly tries to physically hit people with his staff as opposed to casting spells from a distance.
Makes sense when you think about it. Hunter can’t do magic on his own, but is incredibly strong, so physically hitting someone with a staff is easier and more effective than trying to cast magic.
Hitting someone with a heavy metal staff definitely does more damage than hitting someone with a lighter wooden one. Plus Hunter’s artificial staff is heavier on one end (the end with the crystal) than the other, allowing it to act a bit like a hammer or mace and do even more damage when used as a melee weapon, while wooden staffs are perfectly weighted in the centre with no end heavier than the other so spell circles can be created easier with them.
Hunter can’t use spell circles, so there’s no point in having his staff be optimized for making spell circles. And on top of all that, the winglike part of Hunter’s artificial staff can be used as a sort of axe blade, making it even more effective up close.
Having a heavy, unbalanced metal staff also makes it much harder for someone to steal it and use it against Hunter or other members of the emperor’s coven. The witch will be struggling to properly use the thing due to its weight and unbalanced centre of mass, while Hunter and his grimwalker strength can use it just fine.
Moving on from Hunter’s strength, here’s a couple of smaller headcanons:
Hunter’s lungs being stonesleeper lungs means that he can hold his breath for a very long time and has some pretty strong lungs overall. Stonesleepers basically hold their breath for the entire night since they petrify themselves when they sleep and un-petrify themselves in the morning. They need some insane lung capacity so they don’t suffocate. He can’t hold his breath forever, but he can hold his breath for just long enough for it to be unnerving for those around him.
Since Hunter is partially made from palistrom wood, and palismen are made from palismen wood, Hunter can understand and speak to palismen. Even palismen that he has no connection to. For example, Eda can talk to Owlbert and understand him because that’s her palisman, but she can’t understand Flapjack because Flapjack isn’t hers. Hunter can speak to Flapjack and understand him because Flapjack is his palisman, but he can also understand Owlbert just fine as well because he’s (partially) made of palistrom wood.
The combination of magic controling palistrom wood, magic focusing gladorstones and magic resistant selkidomus scales that make up Hunter’s body gives him a slight resistance to magic.
Hunter is immune to the boiling water of the isles and heat in general because of the Selkidomus scales used in his creation.
Hunter’s blood is neon green, just like the insides of a palisman. After being exposed to air for a few seconds, it turns blood red.
Moving on from those ones and onto something a bit more important, The gladorstone that (if the grimmwalker instruction book is correct) Hunter has instead of a heart that powers his body.
It literally says that the gladorstone is used for “heart and power” and unless it’s talking about heart in a metaphorical sense and Hunter’s non existent magic powers, it’s being used as a replacement for an organic heart and it’s also what powers Hunter’s body. I got two headcanons that take advantage of this fact.
Firstly, because he has no heart, Hunter has no heartbeat. If you put your head up to his chest, you’d instead hear the constant humming of the gladorstone that occupies the space where his heart should be.
Secondly, the gladorstone providing constant power to Hunter’s body means that he doesn’t need to eat, drink or sleep very often. He still needs all those things and does still get hungry, thirsty and tired, but at a far slower rate than a regular person.
Combine that with Hunter’s nonexistent sleep schedule and complete lack of self care and you get someone that can go for a full week without eating, drinking or sleeping and only start feeling the negative effects of it five days in.
———————————————————————————————————————
I took a step back and reread what I wrote and I realized something.
Hunter:
Resistant to magic.
Physically stronger and more durable than most witches. Can overpower almost any witch in a physical fight. His staff is even designed to work alongside his physical strength.
Completely immune to the climate of the boiling isles, not caring about the rain and barely needing food and water. There is not a single place on the isles where this kid cannot survive.
Extremely large lung capacity and grimwalker endurance means that he can travel extremely long distances on-foot quickly and preform all sorts of athletic achievements without breaking a sweat. Making it harder to escape from him. The witch he’s pursuing will always tire out before he does.
Barely needs sleep, making it even harder to escape the golden guard.
Name is literally short for “Witch Hunter”
Hunter was built to be the perfect witch hunter. Emperor Belos was trying to make the boiling isles equivalent of the terminator.

King's Tide (fucking finally)
Same as canon, the episode starts with King in the In-Between where The Collector is arguing with the twins. Belos insists him and his brother are trustworthy, which King scoffs at and Collector snaps, shouting "WHO'S THERE??" And King abruptly wakes up in Willow's lap.
~~~~~
Instead of Alador piloting the airship, Viney is using her beastkeeping magic to keep the giant gryffin tame and under control as the massive, spider-spewing, beast flies them towards their destination. Nobody can argue about the speed since they're all too focused on clinging to the creature for dear life.
~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, on Terra's airship; Mattie had to get some rest and take regular breaks from putting up the Hunter illusion. Luckily, Terra kept her back turned quite a lot since she had to focus on flying the ship. The ship was flying way faster than Luz thought a ship like this was even capable of going. They must've been running late or something.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief when they made it to the Skull before the eclipse began. The moment they landed, Mattie activated his Hunter illusion and the teens followed the Head Witch towards the entry way to the Skull itself. (Since the landing pad for the airships was located at the bottom of the Skull and they didn't have access to a jetpack, like Kiki, they went "around the back"(the same entrance Belos used in For the Future.))
Tumblr media
Terra paid no mind to their horrified reactions as she just dragged them up the stairs.
~~~~~~~~
As this was taking place, Belos and Pip were calling the other coven heads, asking where the hell Terra disappeared to and/or what in Titan's name was taking her so long to show up??
Tumblr media
Belos agreed and picked up the crow phone again to start dialing the number of one of their replacements.
"Let's just hope they'll be more reliable and get there on time." He added.
"If not, I may just throw a random scout in there to take her pla-." Pip started, fuming but was cut off by the doors slamming open, startling the two Emperors before they quickly composed themselves.
That composure did not last long when they were greeted by Terra.
Pip had to be held back from attacking her.
After he was calmed down by Belos, the twins noticed there were two children hiding behind her. Terra calmly revealed them to be the "Golden Guard" and that human girl they had been searching for. Pip still wanted to rip her in two.
"THIS is why you were LATE??!" The older twin pinched the bridge of his nose, exhausted, annoyed, enraged, and on the verge of murdering the old witch. Belos gently laid a hand on his shoulder, earning a grumpy scowl from his brother. Phil merely gave a calm smile in return.
"You watch over the kids, I'll handle the rest." Phil said and Pip looked like he wanted to strangle his little brother.
Phil and Terra left, likely going towards the stage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
The projection scene goes basically identical to canon. No change here.
Tumblr media
Though, the interraction between Eda and Lilith here is pretty different since Lilith is the one taking Raine's place. Lilith is still pretty scared but only because she's a little more emotionally vulnerable than Eda. Lilith straight up feels like she's about to die and is having a LOT of trouble putting on a brave face about it. Technically, with or without being a part of this plan, she'd still be on death's door simply because she already had a sigil anyway.
Scarlet, for once, initiates a hug with Lilith, instead of the other way around.
"I hate this plan. I don't want you or Eda to get hurt." Scarlet mentioned.
"I know and it's sweet but I have to do this." Lilith insisted.
"No you don't! Look, I swear I could just run up there just as the eclipse starts and knock one of those lousy Coven Heads off the edge of the platform!" She told her.
"You could try but I don't think we should go off plan... Wait,... Scarlet? Are you-?"
Tumblr media
"I already lost one friend to the Emperors. I don't want to lose another." She said. Lilith gave her a smile and wiped the tears before pulling her into another hug.
"You won't lose another one, I promise." They let go and Lilith put on the stone, taking on Raine's form and went to the stage, briefly glancing back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She got on stage and the scene goes the same as canon with Belos deciding to "switch up" the arrangement.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
then activating the spell before teleporting back to his lab inside the Skull.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
while this was all going down-
Tumblr media
Pip had no interest in fighting the two children so, to annoy them, he merely left them paralyzed and suspended in the air. Unable to move, let alone attack him as he prepared the portal.
The duo tried to think of a way out but no such luck, until Belos returned to the lab. Unable to do anything but observe, they watched as Belos betrayed the Collector, just like in canon. Luz honestly wasn't sure whether to feel sorry for or thankful that a potential bullet was dodged by keeping the kid imprisoned. She didn't want to side with Belos on anything but, considering the Collector has a murderous cult that worship him as their God AND the kid taught the Emperors about the Draining Spell.... Everything about this kid just spelled out bad news.
Pip didn't participate in Belos's gloating over having fooled the Collector. Mattholemule didn't notice this but Luz did. While Belos took the disc out of the room to throw it over the bridge, Pip stayed in the lab. Luz hoped maybe this was a sign that her hunch was right about him when she was in his mind. Deep down, he's a good person! He's just been brainwashed! Those buried memories are the proof!
Her hopes were dashed when Belos re-entered the room.
Tumblr media
Belos questioned what Pip honestly had left to feel wary about or cautious of at this point since their home was literally 10 steps away. But, trying to come up with an explanation resulted in him losing focus on keeping the two teens restrained in their suspended animation.
"Mattholemule! Protect the door!" Luz exclaimed, grabbing two invisibility glyphs from her cape, quickly handing one to Mattie and slapping one on her chest. He watched her take a deep breath and disappear. Before the Emperors had a chance to make a move and blast the boy with their staffs, he cast a spell circle at the foot of the stairs leading to the portal door, slamming his hand on the ground to activate it and a thick stone wall emerged, just high enough to block the door from any potential miss-fires. Emperor Philip blasted at the boy and Mattholemule just barely dodged being hit in the back. Belos was about to fire next but was hit with a blast of fire from behind a stalagmite on his left.
Tumblr media
A vine shot out from the same location, wrapped around Mattie's torso and yanked him out of their sight and behind the rocks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile,
Similar to canon, the gang gets a bit antsy at the speed of Viney's gryffin but Viney insists that she can't make it go any faster. They start getting pursued by EC airships under the claim that a Beastkeeping sigil is required to be able to safely handle a beast of that size.
"Ugh. Mom." Amity grumbled.
The Abomatons on board start blasting at the gryffin which, despite how hard Viney worked on her Beastkeeping Magic, she couldn't maneuver a massive beast like that around all those blasts and inevitably, they were struck down. All the witches summoned their Palismen to avoid certain death upon impact and they soared onwards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The C-Plot with Lilith and the Coven Heads goes basically the same as canon. Terra quickly notices "Raine" is a fake, exposes them just as the plan was starting to work and the real Raine is dragged out and put in Lilith's place.
Scarlet and Eda had been tied up while Hooty was sealed in some bubble. The redhead wasted no time extending one of her claws as it excreted its corrosive poison, dissolving her binds. She pretended to still be restrained just long enough until the guards had their backs turned then attacked.
The fierce witch struck the scouts at their ankles, quick, but deep. They had no chance of chasing after her. After cutting Eda free, the two bolted back towards the stage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile,
"Alright, I have an idea." Luz said, close to Mattholomule's ear, barely a whisper in volume while they hid behind one of the stalagmites, just out of view of the two old men.
"I have an idea too but it's gonna involve a lot of illusions. This'd be way easier if Augustus were here. He could probably pull it off no prob'." He whispered back. The very second he finished that sentence, Belos blasted the rock the duo was hiding behind.
"Quick, make some fog!" Mattie hastily whispered to her as Belos and Pip calmly approached. Belos, annoyed but Pip was finding some amusement in the fruitless effort made by the teens.
When the old men saw the massive cloud of thick fog begin to fill the room, both rolled their eyes at such a cheap trick. But Pip, being cautious, took hold of Belos's shoulder just in case. Belos, in turn, snaked his hand onto Pip's hip to keep him close.
Tumblr media
From all angles all around them, a multitude of Luz's and Mattholemule's were running around, blasting the Emperors with non-stop glyphs. The duo dodged and blocked with relative ease.
All they had to worry about was their stamina.
It didn't take long for the old men to pick up on their plan since they were primarily using fire glyphs. No doubt, once the kids realized the two were starting to get tired and slowing down in their reflexes; they'd ice the floor, then use some plant glyphs to tie them up.
A clever strategy on paper, but these two wouldn't go down as easily as that.
While humoring the children was fun, they both made the decision to dispel the fog. Once the fog faded, the duo was met with, surprisingly, nobody. Not Luz, or her friend, or even a single illusion copy of either of them.
"The Illusionist is likely trying to regain his strength. That was a complex spell." Pip mentioned, quietly to Belos but both still remained on guard in case Luz tried a sneak attack.
(though neither Emperor noticed that the sigil glove on their table had gone missing.)
Tumblr media
Luz thought fast, pulling out her notepad. She tacked on an invisibility glyph to get some more distance from the Emperors without attracting attention. After glancing at some of her older notes from a week or so back, she mustered the courage and began quickly drawing the new combos.
She used another invisibility glyph and crept out from behind the rock she was hiding behind. But the Emperors were gone too! They decided to take a page out of her and Mattie's book and she was surrounded by fog. The fog the Emperors summoned, however, didn't fill the whole room to blind her. It cloaked the light omitted from the portal and hid the rocky surroundings.
Leaving her in a dark...but wide open space, like a sitting duck.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Emperors didn't really want to hurt the girl, she was a fellow human after all. This fight was really nothing more than a game to them.
While distracted by their voices, Luz was nearly decapitated when a spike shot out of the ground right in front of her, stopping just before it could pierce her neck. It wasn't an ice spike, they were using Construction Magic. That jolt of fear continued as, less than a second after she nearly died, a beast was summoned from a red spell circle. Out of desperation to not be eaten, she used one of the glyphs she had been planning to use on one of the Emperors,
and petrified it.
These jerks were trying to test her or something and it was getting really annoying.
"Ugh! Face me already!" She shouted. And suddenly a giant spell circle was formed right in front of her.
Mattholomule jumped out from behind the rock Luz had left him to rest at and he dove to push her out of the way of whatever spell was going to be cast. It was a light spell and a big one.
Tumblr media
Despite Mattie's efforts, both teens wound up temporarily blinded.
While they were on the ground frantically rubbing their eyes and blinking rapidly to try and speed up the process of regaining their eyesight, even though they were quite disoriented at the same time, the Emperors emerged from the fog and Belos grabbed Luz like in canon. Pip got rid of the fog and restrained Mattie.
Instead of anger, Luz tries to have a discussion with the twins. She's incredibly vulnerable as long as she can't see and acknowledges that she's at their mercy at the moment.
Belos insists they can help her and mentions that they can take her home.
"You two really have no clue what the modern human realm is like, do you? You really think you'd be congratulated for THIS?! What do you think they did to you?" Luz asked as she regained more of her sight, it was blurry but she could at least tell who was who.
The two Emperors paused, they briefly glanced at each other but kept their emotions invisible, refusing to allow anyone to see the deep rooted pain in their hearts. They just put up another emotional barrier, merely furrowing their brows and squinting slightly.
"So what? Are you proposing to be our modern-day guide?" Pip asked, completely dodging her last question. Hesitantly, Luz nodded.
"Yes. On the condition that you save my friends." She told them as her and Mattie's eyesight cleared up. Mattholomule used his Construction Magic to create a small spike to erupt from the ground and sever his binds then used his invisibility glyph to take cover behind the stalagmite he was tied to and cast an illusion copy of himself to appear as though he was still tied up.
Luz was able to watch him pull this off while the Emperors had their backs to the boy to focus on her.
The twins looked at each other and both reluctantly agreed that they'd need her help.
"Very well." Belos said, mildly annoyed as he set the girl down and his arm returned to normal. Luz put one hand behind her back and held out her other.
"Let's shake on it. Human style."
They both looked at her like a disappointed grandpa. The duo admittedly didn't know exactly what glyph she had behind her back and was planning on using but they had no intention of falling for such an obvious ruse. When she noticed, Luz showed them her hand was empty just like in canon.
Tumblr media
Same as canon, Belos shakes her hand and gets sigil'd.
Tumblr media
Pip frantically tried to conduct damage control, throwing Luz at the table, to give her distance from them and convince her to stay back at the same time while he did his best to help his brother. He turned his arm into a mud blade, grabbed the sigil'd arm as it was starting to spread. The elder twin could see the beginnings of his younger brother's transformation taking place.
Tumblr media
Just as Pip was about to chop off Belos's arm, he was attacked by Mattholomule and Luz. Mattie launched several spikes from the ground with his Construction Magic. Pip blocked them with ease but really all this did was piss him off. Luz used a plant glyph to restrain his blade arm.
"Philip! Just stop the spell! Then you won't have to cut off his-"
"WE CAN'T STOP IT! EVEN IF WE WANTED TO!" Pip shouted, cutting her off as Belos's body started to morph.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile,
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Draining Spell had just taken full effect. And the "draining" had begun. All the loyalists finally realizing they've been tricked before either collapsing or trying to run away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You can't..stop it?" Luz said as her heart sank. Mattholomule was furious though, angry tears brimming as he thought about his brother and parents.
Their anger and distress quickly turned into terror when Belos transformed...

gustholomule thing. i just like writing their dynamic
Read on ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42952659
----------------------------------
Gus always waited after school to walk home with Matthomule. Now that Matty was a multi-track student he had a lot more classes. Not that Gus really minded if he had to wait for Matty a little longer than usual because he was now on the illusionist track; it was worth it.
“Hey.” Said Matty as he made his way over to Gus. His palisman peeked out of the messenger bag he carried. (It resembled what Luz would call an armadillo.)
A lot may have changed in the last few months - Defeating Belos, Matty growing out his hair, Matty’s palisman etc. etc. - but their friendship hadn’t.
“Hey, where are you heading?” Gus asked, tucking a rogue strand of hair behind Matty’s ear.
Matty blushed, swatting away Gus’s hand with his own, “Nowhere really, why?”
“Do you wanna hang out for a while then?” Gus said leaning against the wall, “I kind of just want to hang out with you right now.”
“Hm, I’m sure you do.” Matty said, rolling his eyes.
“I just had to turn in like a bajillion papers and take a trillion tests,” Gus whined, “So obviously after doing all that you’re going to seem slightly more enjoyable in comparison.”
“Rude.” Matty huffed, shoving Gus slightly as he walked past him.
Gus laughed and followed him.
The two ended up settling on going to the Book Nook where Gus could help Matty study for his upcoming illusion quiz. Matty had moved all his shifts to the morning, before school started due to his schedule being expanded. Still sitting in the Book Nook he fidgeted constantly and would sometimes get up to reshelve books that people misplaced. Gus found it adorable and would constantly make fun of his friend's anxious behavior.
They sat down at a table close to the graphic novel section. It was hidden by two shelves that surrounded it on either side. Only the employees that worked in the Book Nook knew about it. And Gus. It had quickly become his and Matty’s private hang out.
“So what are you up to?” Gus said referring to the textbook Mattholomule was currently reading through.
“Making illusions mimic voices,” he answered, brow furrowed in concentration.
Gus smiled, he didn’t get why so many people hated Matty. He was just an adorable dork under all the rough layers.
Matty looked up and frowned, closing the book, “You’re smiling weirdly again.”
Gus jolted up before almost falling off his chair, “Whatttt, no I’m not.”
Matty shook his head,“Augustus, you are many things but an actor isn’t one of them.”
Gus panicked momentarily. Had his friend figured out his feelings? Oh no he probably had. Shit, shit, shit-
“You know if you’re bored you can always leave,” Matty said, “I won’t be offended.”
“What?” Gus said, confused, smiling due to the fact that Matty hadn’t confirmed his suspicions, “No, I’m here because I want to be here.”
“Are you sure?” Matty asked, his voice was now almost a whisper.
Gus’s face softened, “Matty c'mon’ you know if I didn’t want to be here you’d never hear the end of it and even if that was the case I wouldn’t just leave.”
Mattholomule sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose, “Sorry I’ve just been on edge lately.”
“More so than usual?” Gus joked trying not to show his concern, worried he might just be overreacting.
“Yeah.” Matty leaned back in his chair staring at the ceiling.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Gus asked, taking Mattholomules hand in his own without noticing, “You seem really off.”
Matt glanced down at their hands but decided not to tease Gus about it today.
“I don’t know, I think it’s just school picking back up after all the chaos; it’s like they never gave us time to recover from all the shit that happened.”
“Yeah I get that.” Gus said, rubbing his thumb over Mattys hand, surprised at how soft it was.
Matty tilted his head over to look at Gus.
“I really just need a break.”
“We can do that; this stuff isn’t going to jump up and run away.” Gus gestured to the papers and textbooks spread out all over their table.
Matty laughed, “Hm leave it with Eda and it might.”
Gus smiled as he got up out of his chair, “C’mon we’re both tired of school work, let's just go walk around or something.”
Mattholomules face flushed as Gus got up not letting go of his hand. Titan this boy was making him so fucking impulsive and stupid.
“Okay, but we are not going to that board game store again,” Matty said following him.
Gus pouted, “What? But it’s awesome there!”
“Augustus, almost getting eaten by giant life size Hexus Holdem cards is not ‘awesome.’”
“Fine, where do you want to go?” Gus asked as they made their way out of the book store.
—--------------------------------
“I would have never thought you of all people liked this place.” Gus said as the two of them flew down to the Grom Tree.
Matty blushed and glared at him, “Shut up.”
Their palisman transformed out of their staff form and quickly scurried over to Matty's bag where they both found quite cozy. Gus and Matty sat down at the roots of the Grom Tree watching the boiling water calmly move back and forth.
“Remember the Grom dance, where Amity and Luz made this tree?” Gus asked.
“Yep, can’t say that night went as well for me as it did for them,” Matty laughed nervously, fidgeting with his hands.
“Didn’t you get a date though?” Gus asked, confused at his friend's statement.
“I guess?” Mattholomule said scratching the back of his neck, “I didn’t really like her though.”
“Not your type?”
Matt turned to Gus, quickly catching his eye before turning to look out at the sea.
“I guess you could say that.”
Gus saw blush spreading across Mattholomules face. Why’d he look at me like that?
“Did you like someone else?”
Matty pulled his legs up to his chest, wrapping his arms around them.
“Maybe.”
“Ooh, what was she like?” Gus questioned teasingly.
“She?” Mattholomule said, confused by the question.
“Don’t you like girls?” Gus said, confused by Mattys response. He had gone to the dance with a girl right? Matt had never mentioned a crush on any other gender. Come to think of it, they had never really discussed his love life at all.
“No, I thought you knew that.” Matty answered.
“Then why’d you accept that one girl's request to dance?”
“She was friends with Bosha,” Matt said simply, “I hoped that if I dated one of her friends then she wouldn’t be able to bully me; it didn't really work out at all.”
Gus felt like his world shifted suddenly. Suddenly their flirting actually meant something; this guy he had been hopelessly pining after for like two years was actually, maybe interested in him? Maybe? Maybe was enough for Gus though.
“What’s your type?” Gus asked nervously, trying to focus on the sea.
“What?” Matt laughed nervously, surprised by the question.
Why was Gus suddenly so interested in what kind of guys he liked? Had he figured it out? Was he just trying to make fun of him? No, no Gus wouldn’t do that. Gus wouldn’t even bring this up unless- No, no he doesn’t see you like that stop being an idiot. Matty shook his head trying to get rid of the thoughts.
“I don’t know.” He said softly glancing at Gus’s deep gray eyes. Wow, real convincing Mattholomule, his brain said sarcastically.
Gus turned to glance at Mattholomule and found that their eyes had suddenly locked together; both unable to look away from each other.
What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck. Gus’s head was racing as Matty reached for his hands to gently hold Gus’s face.
“I do have a crush on this one guy,” Mattholomule said, his face flushing bright red as he turned to look back at the sea, “but he’s an oblivious dumbass.”
“He can’t be that stupid if your into him.” Gus said, leaning towards Mattholomule.
“Calling yourself smart Augustus?” Mattholomule said, turning to face Gus, surprised but not annoyed by his close proximity.
“Saying you like me Matty?”
“Maybe Augustus, maybe.”
By now their faces were basically touching. Mattholomule pulled him in closer till they were kissing.
He was kissing Gus Porter. Something he definitely didn't predict when his friend asked him to hang out. Wait, had he been so insistent on hanging out with him because he had a crush on him? Wait- had they been flirting for the past year? So many things suddenly made sense.
Gus pulled away slowly before turning to smile at Matty, who was practically sitting in his lap at this point. He laughed at Matty's beet colored face while softly combing his hair.
“You look cute,” he teased.
“Oh my titan-” Mattholomule grumbled, covering his face with his hands, “This was a horrible idea.”
“Whaat no,” Gus said, draping his arms over Matty’s shoulders, “You love me.”
“I hate you.” The other boy grumbled, leaning into his touch.
“Aww, I love you too.” Gus said, softly pecking his cheek, laughing as Mattholomule blushed fiercely.

I watched the portuguese dub of eclipse lake earlier today and i got some physic damage watching it
Its not bad, but god theres some bad stuff there
So ill start with a cute thingy that was there. When Luz sings to the echo mouse, it got translated to "window, little window, door, doorbell" (janela, janelinha, porta, campainha), which basically is a little song thing that is a way to say eye, eye, mouth, nose. Its so cute!
Eda called amity sargent instead of bossy boots/boots, and also she says "ah, how this guy is fun/s"
"a bad boy, but also sad" fair translation of that.
They changed Owl beast to evil owl fjsndnfnfn
"namorada incrível" 💜💜💜 pretty direct translation but it sounds just as cute 💜💜💜
Now i will ramble about the voice acting itself below the cut, if anyone is curious.
For starters, Belos sounds really weird. His voice is quite deep compared to the original fjdndndn and he talked very rushedly at the cold open. He doesnt really have any discernable accent. Obviously not a british one, i dont even know how you could do that outside of english. If he does, it does sound a little like in the original but not much.
And Hunter...theres a lot to unpack there. First of all, he sounds like a loser. Yes, he is a loser in english too but he doesnt sound like a loser. In portuguese he has a bit of the steriotypical loser voice quite some times. His voice is flat almost all the time (its a problem on a lot of the characters in S2 but with him its very noticeable), like, both him saying to amity that he won't run away and when he talks about how the veins repell magic have the same tone and volume.
The tamagochi talk, the grave digging bit and the threat were actually pretty nice, they sounded good. But the BYEEE? Desgrace. Also the "then give me that key" was really not the right emotion and entonation for the scene. It sounded more like he was trying to reach something he almost could grab but couldn't. He didn't scream it.
His voice also isnt as distinguishable as the one Zeno does. It lacks the squeaky and crack. A lot of the other voices also lack the squeak and higher pitching and raising the volume in certain moments.
Philip's voice was actually quite nice, which is ironic since Belos voice is bad imo.
Eda's voice was pretty good, as it has always been. Its actually pretty close to the english one! My favorite delivery of the episode was her going "i think not!" Before breaking the fool's blood. Also harpy eda voice ♥️♥️♥️ king and hooty (or also known as corujito. Btw owlbert is corujoão) were some of the best even though they dont sound that similar to in english, specially king. Luz's is ehhh it goes a little weird sometimes but it is still pretty luz even if not really like the voice Sarah does for her.
Amity's voice has always been kinda dead but it got some emotion there, its better than what they did with Hunter.
KIKI SOUNDS SO YOUNG. SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S AROUND THE HEXSQUAD'S AGES ALMOST. WHERE'S THE RASPINESS IN HER VOICE? Pretty good though.
So yeah that's my first time actually watching something from S2 in portuguese fjsndndn i chose eclipse lake because i almost watched it in portuguese some other day and i physically cringed at Belos' voice, but out of curiosity i ended up actually watching in pt-br today

Revenge scheme? For breaking his nose?
Short answer, yes exactly. Somewhat longer answer, I am making slow progress on a Shadow Puppets au based Elsewhere and Elsewhen rewrite. Mild spoilers for that below.
Lilith never properly bonded with her Palismen while she was in the Emperor's Coven specifically because she knew she would have to give it up to serve him, never gave him a name and largely kept him in staff form, but Belos let her keep it. Lilith never really questioned it, and later concludes that he was just toying with her desperate need for attention and recognition, and she's aboslutely right.
But it's even more fucked up than she realized.
Because Belos knows she's "Aunt Dirtrude" and in the Shadow Puppets AU, Philip ate her Palisman when she and Luz went back in time. He specifically waits for their timelines to resync so that once Lilith finds out that Belos is Philip and not just descended from him as she theorized, she realizes that Belos let her keep her Ravenstaff because he already knew that he eats her Palisman after Lilith started to bond with him.
He waited until he knew it would hurt.

relationship hcs ; kikimora
Tumblr media
requested by ; anonymous (26/05/23)
fandom(s) ; the owl house
fandom masterlist(s) ; here
character(s) ; kikimora
outline ; “can we get uhhh kikimora relationship hcs? i think shes cool but no one likes her 😞”
warning(s) ; none, just fluff!
because she’s so devoted to her role in the coven, the two of you rarely have the time to go out on any proper dates — which makes them all the more special
she does try and carve out at least one day a month to spend with you to keep your relationship alive, though, and she does everything she can to make that day special
cloud gazing, picnicking, going to a new restaurant, a walk in the park, a spa day or going star gazing at night — something that you can both enjoy
either calls you your name or ‘dear’ — occasionally using ‘sweetheart’ if she’s absolutely run ragged and you’re taking care of her
panics whenever you’re sick and will call you throughout the day and ask your neighbours to take care of you (she doesn’t have the time available to take off of work)
she’s a better cook than she lets on and loves making home cooked meals for you both on days where she isn’t working — including breakfast in bed when you’re having a sleep in
kiki cannot bake, however, do not let her near the equipment because she will break it (she gets frustrated)
perpetually exhausted but always manages to smile and laugh at your jokes (even if they’re really not funny)
rants to you about her day when she comes home: resting her head against her shoulder as she animatedly gestures with one hand and holds a cup of tea in her other hand — so expressive through her exhaustion that you can’t help but engage her
you also have matching mugs with ‘1# girlfriend’ and ‘1# spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner’ on them
her love language is quality time and she loves spending as much time with you as she can outside of work, even if it’s really inconvenient to do so (e.g. trying to cook together in your cramped kitchen) because being around you makes her feel better
loves forehead kisses but is also partial to pecking your fingertips and knuckles (they’re the only things she can reach)
claims to be the big spoon but she’s 100% the little spoon — she just loves being held
she’s shockingly good at doing your hair and skincare — styling and caring for your skin and hair in a way that suits you, including always keeping your preferred product stocked up at home and helping you on wash days if you’re too stressed and achy
let’s out a sort of purring/humming sound when she’s content — which is usually when she’s in your arms and starting to drift off to sleep
the only thing that could break her away from the emperor’s coven (and belos’ control as a whole) is if the emperor started to personally threaten your safety — that is when her loyalty and her love would come head to head and her love for you would win out (though she’d still find the situation incredibly difficult)
she never means to hurt you but occasionally she has been known to forget just how sharp her claws are whilst cuddling and has scratched you up quite a bit
your contact on her phone is just your name with a single heart emoji next to it — simple and on the nose
not one for grabs romantic gestures and prefers to go the simpler, more personal route
has an excellent memory when it comes to important dates (she still remembers the birthdays of her family after not speaking to them for years, even) — so you’ll never forget another holiday, anniversary, birthday or appointment so long as she has a say
she struggles with giving compliments in a written or spoken way, but might just cry if you praise her too earnestly or too often — in a positive way, of course, the poor thing just gets overwhelmed

125 for the song ask thingy?
Bodega Run – Crying
“i still think we should destroy them,” alma says, turning up her nose as she kneads her shadowy paws against amity’s shoulder, her tail whipping back-and-forth as she and amity wait at the crosswalk with luz and mari. alma’s nose crinkles as she hisses out, “cars.”
“honestly, you probably could.” luz’s voice is light as she elbows her girlfriend, snickering. “you and gus got real close last week. mami was just about ready to break down, i think. whoever gave gus his license made a terrible, terrible mistake.”
“bailey is sometimes responsible,” amity says, as alma bares her teeth to the car passing by, speeding through the yellow light. a moment after it’s their turn to walk, and amity makes intense eye-contact with the blinkers of the cars.
“i promise you they aren’t alive,” mari says, flitting over as an oilbird to nudge her head against alma’s. “and if they were, your magic would be more than enough to tear it in two.”
“that’s not what king says.” but amity drops her glare once they’ve made it across the road. “i don’t understand why you don’t just fly everywhere.”
“well.” luz begins counting off on her fingers. “lack of any animals large enough to fly. a continent that’s a billion times bigger than the titan so even flight can take days. a whole culture in which being an adult and having a daemon able to change forms are contradictory ideas.”
“also,” says mari, “we built airplanes, so.”
amity considers this for a moment. “we should destroy airplanes as well.”
luz breaks into giggles, and squeezes amity’s hand.
Commentary
another song i forgot was on my playlist wahoo!!!
okay so i think its SO funny if witches are just like. cars make No Sense to them bc all their machinery is powered by magic (think like, the airships) which is very much alive maybe not exactly like a witch is but yknow what i mean, and so something like a CAR that is made out of dead things and barrels down ROADS?? what the fuck is THAT all about?? witches have no concepts of highways. post-canon as coven symbols are removed and as they learn more about historical witch society its like, none of this was needed, yknow?
bc like, the titan is pretty small, all things considered, and even with belos witch kids settled closer to 18 than 12--thats a good 18 years of using 'my palisman turning into a big bird' as a transportation method, and that was the historical way people got around and belos couldnt ENTIRELY get rid of that concept at least in the collective mind. and magic makes the longer distances like, way more understandable even once most adults have to change, and their technology very much interacts with and is based on the magic of the isles--it works with the world in a way a car very much doesnt.
AND PLUS luz's friends are introduced to cars with king and sraf (collector), both of whom are eight years old, have never seen a car in their lives, and can see dust. of which cars have Literally None, and roads tend to cut directly through established dust-patterns which is also what belos did <3. so uhhhh cars are somewhat of an eldritch horror to them.
basically um. lumity date but the entire time amity and alma are SO OFFENDED by the concept of cars. they could do so much better. and luzmari is like yknow what? yeah <3

I made my own little spin on Opaline.
Tumblr media
I’ve heard a fair share of complaints about Opaline’s character and design. For fun, I thought I’d share my own spin
It’s heavily implied her being an Alicorn was her own means and might not fully be in power. What if being immortal but not full in power took a negative toll on her, physically and mentally.
Imagine if she doesn’t just want power to for the sake of more power but that she might actually need more power to survive. Perhaps she’s been heavily weakened for a while and has had to lay low and conserve to keep not just her powers but her own life. All those years hiding, watching made her not vain and haughty like OG Opaline but stoic, not fully…in it and the one thing keeping her grounded, is the day magic comes back and she can finally continue what she wasn’t able to back so long, long ago.
My Opaline’s def less ““showing care is unbecoming, makes u weak, I shall have it all to myself” and far more reserved, deep in thoughts but she is still obsessed with becoming full in power. She def tries far more to keep herself composed and breaking. With that said, when you’ve been waiting for CENTURIES while in a bad state, that can be really hard. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERES A BUNCH OF FRIENDSHIP MAGIC WANNABES THAT WILL GET IN THE WAY OF EVERYTHING SHES WORKED TOO LONG AND HARD FOR!
When she lets it all out, it’s SCARY!
I wanted her to looks like the opposite you’d think of an Alicorn, elegant, powerful, radiant. Show her like she’s barely keeping it together. I also made her hair more flowy like the other alicorns but just at the bottom to show she’s not in full state. It’s more white with gradual darkness, to give off a very gloomy, Dp fading vibe. She has a lot of dark tips, as she’s on the tip of things.
Her colors r far less vibrant, more grayish, fading with gradient darkness. The most colorful parts are her eyes that have a bit of fade in them and her mark. I redesigned her cutie mark to look similar to twilights, with a mix of Nightmare Moon’s. It’s meant to be a gemstone trying to shine in the dark, there’s even a bit of cracks around her mark.
She’s also less outwardly cruel to Misty. She’s def far more careful with how she acts towards her best ally and far more subtle, less on the nose on her manipulation. Even manipulating herself that she truly is helping Misty in the end. Ngl I can see her tell her some of the tales of the old, might’ve even told her about the Cutie Mark Crusaders who also went for quite a lot of trial for their marks. And one of Misty’s other reasons for helping Opaline as she’s seen first hand why she needs magic and doesn’t want to Potentially lose the one pony that’s ever been there for her.
I can see her show more kindness and patience, even a bit of fondness for Misty who along with helping with her plans, does a lot things such as chores and cooking for her, something in her state, she has a lot of trouble doing. She really hopes once everything comes to motion, she’ll pay Misty back full for everything…she won’t get in her way right?
I can def see her have a bit of rasp in her voice.
She’s def still terrified of her…especially when the…side effects of not enough magic kick in. Misty’s seen a lot.
I want to give off Belos and Hunter vibes.  She’s def less powerful but still very capable, especially when using more hood made spells, to use her magic with. I can see her be aware of the Zebra Zecora and might’ve found spells of the more dangerous and dark or good spells she twisted for her gain. I can imagine she needs to feed off magic in a way, in order to keep herself going, I def want Belos vibes.
I’m honestly going for the more scary modern cartoon villains like White Diamond, Niwhere King, Belos, the Beast etc.
Maybe she wants to still control the magic but for less…typical villain reasons. Maybe she wasn’t the exact cause for all the fighting and in fact was trying to stop it all, Princess Twilight unable to, Unfortunately making the situation worse.
Opaline- They say u learn from the past so the future will be better but frankly It seems like it’s just been getting worse. She tried so, so hard for eveyrone but it was NEVER ENOUGH! They were never satisfied! They always found something to fight over, the biggest thing they fought over and continually abused and took for granted! Magic! When things started getting out of hand, Twilight made the crystals to get them to stop fighting, but soon enough it was gone. It was all gone and…she was gone. Everything she did, ALL THAT WORK DESTROYED! IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING! Now that it’s back, I’m going to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself. U think every pony has a natural good in them Sunny but they also have plenty of selfishness. They only way to make sure they use the good more is control what they desire the most! I HAVE SACRIFICED FAR TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO RUIN EVERYHTING! This is your final warning.
What do u think of my Opaline? I’d love to know💖

Spoilers for The Owl House 3.03 Watching and Dreaming
Okay so .... I have a lot of words about this episode!
Since I’ve just watched it don’t expect anything here to be cohesive since I am basically just ranting from memory and getting all my thoughts down in writing. No profound meaning behind everything here, just vibes :’D
The Collector - their mini arc in the episode and having them learn to appreciate life, forgiveness and friendship was such a treat - I screamed and actually feared for their life when they ran to Belos then to scream at Luz breaking apart (dying) afterwards - I had no idea this was the way the crew would go with the collector but I loved it
Belos - fucking hell, I am glad he finally died!! I am a little sad that we didn’t get more of his backstory with Caleb but I think what we did get about Belos especially though the words of the titan to Luz in the inbetween fits well with the story and gives closure to Luz and her doubts about being as ‘bad as Belos’. Also him melting in the boiling rain and Luz being over him to the point of not even flinching when Belos tries to manipulate her? Good stuff!! So was the call back to the first episode with the Good Witch Luz pulling Belos off the dying heart of the titan!!
The dream sequences ... I actually thought those and the games would take up more screentime but I am not too sad about it since what we got was pretty much just as angst as I’d thought it would be - and giving time to Raine being badass resisting Belos and Luz meeting the titan was a far trade off for me
I did get some Amphibia the Hardest Thing vibes from the Luz meeting a deity in the in-between after “death” only to get back to life bit but again I don’t mind it since it ended in a pretty badass finale seeing Luz, King and Eda fight side by side 
Seeing the rest of the Hexside squad helping to free the other inhabitants of the Boiling Isles with the help of best mom Camila was pretty fun although a part of me had wanted to see them have a bigger impact on the story: still, it was nice checking in with them once and twice and gosh I adored Amity for being the first to genuinely giving up her hand of friendship to the collector after Luz has just told them about friendship - it was a perfect moment in my mind.
The scenes of people meeting up with their family was so sweet - I enjoyed it a lot especially with Hunter getting his found family in Darius and Ebberwolf :3
Yet to me the real beauty was the epilogue - seeing all the different ways that the peeps on Earth and the boiling Isles have grown up and their new looks! I love Luz’ eyeshadow, and gah, Vee’s piercings look so cool!!! (I wonder if the nose piercing is a nod to the voice actor also being the voice of Amethyst? I believe she had a nosering  (Amethyst?)? I could be wrong, this is literally my unhinged, first thoughts written down unedited) - Willow being a badass sports girlie fits so well and I love the short hair for her, Gus looks incredible with those gold accessories in his dreadlocks, and Amity as a badass air explorer with a sidecut? Hello!!!? Hunter is killing me being this adorable taking up the mantle as apprentice of Dell and aaaaa the blue bird is gorgeous and somehow fits Hunter so well :’D what really killed me about him tho was two fold 1) Flapjack’s grave and 2) the red thing on Hunter’s arm that king of sort of looks like a Flapjack tattoo to cover up his empire coven sigil OVO
And then hello white haired Raine!? Why do they slay with that haircolour and the ‘tear down’ scars!? this look fits them so well, and I am so happy seeing them together with Eda, finally :’3
The ending sequence with the collector sending the fireworks and all the casts saying “Bye” feels like the biggest nod to the fans - thank you so much Dana, the crew, the cast, the animators, everybody for this wonderful show!!

I finished There's sunshine in your smile and now i want no i NEED that "what if im at the other side of this staff" fight because i just know it would be the most cute and violent fight ever, like they would make their better moves and attacks but they would miss on purpose, i just know that they are gonna be in a similar position that Hunter and Amity at the end of their fight, but instead of the threat Willow it's gonna touch Hunter's nose making a "boop!" sound or something and he is gonna blush and she is gonna laugh making him blush again cause their are dumb and i love them and yes
Sunshine was written post ASIAS and pre HM when I really had no idea where Hunter's character arc was gonna go and how much of a strain his loyalty to Belos was going to put on his friendship with Willow. (At the time Willow was the person he was closest to. His bonds with Luz and Gus strengthened afterwards.) So I was really just taking a shot in the dark. Which works cuz Hunter and Willow had no idea what was going to happen either. Though they were trying to ignore everything because they both desperately wanted to keep this connection between them, deep down, they knew their respective alliances and beliefs would probably come back to bite them in the end. They knew this friendship seemed easy at the time but it had a chance of getting very difficult and they might inevitably have to break it off. And no matter how much they tried not to think about that, they had to acknowledge it at some point.
So I feel like this hypothetical conflict they brought up would be more sad than cute. Devastating really.
Remember at the beginning of LR how ready Willow was to capture a scout and interrogate them? But then later in the episode she had the fucking Golden Guard of all people. Literally nobody more perfect to get information out of. But what did Willow do? She hung back and allowed the others to handle that job instead. She avoided eye contact with him. She pretended she didn't see him. From Willow's limited knowledge of Hunter's loyalty at that time, she knew it wouldnt be the right move to trust him. But she still couldn't bring herself to be the one who confronted him. She would rather sit this one out.
So Willow absolutely would not want to fight Hunter. However if she was left with no other option, if he posed a threat to her family and friends, she would have take matters into her own hands and do something about him.
Hunter worried that though Willow was very strong, he didn't know enough about her to be sure she wouldn't go easy on him. That scared him to think about. He tried to warn her not to because Hunter was certain that if he was left with no other option than to fight her, he wouldn't go easy on her and he really really didn't want to kill her. He needed her to fight and keep herself alive. However, Hunter swearing he won't go easy on someone and then proceeding to go easy on them has happened before. In Hunting Palismen when he sarcastically said "You think I'll just let you walk away with them?" And then he DID. And this was Luz, who Hunter didn't even know that well. If he couldn't bring himself to fight her honestly, he would most definitely have problems fighting Willow.
Two kids who would rather do anything else than fight each other. However two kids with very firm motivations that they refuse to go against. So if they did fight it WOULD be a huge blow out of a battle. But yes they would still be holding themselves back. Lots of subconsciously deliberate misses when they get too close to kill shots.
If Hunter and Willow ever had to fight, the circumstances would be too grim for the silliness and flirting they had in the garden.
HOWEVER based on the way things have canonically gone? If they're having spars in the Human Realm forest then yes it is EXACTLY as fierce and as cute as you described.

Ok so like what are some of the freakiest things Belos and y/n get up to like bdsm and kink wise and shit also just gotta say that I love your work so so much
NSFW - MDNI
CW: VERY KINKY. Mentions of consensual non-con, period play, and scent kink.
Thank you, Anon!! I hope you like this, too. :D This was done off the cuff in one sitting (which is nigh unheard of for me), so if this reads as odd or disjointed, désolé. 
Kink is a spectrum, and freakiness is subjective, and I’m deeply desensitized to what people think is kinky, so I’ll do my best! This is less what I personally think is freaky, and more what I assume might be Out There for other people.  
So, you do the tamer stuff, like spanking, restraints, rope bondage, suspension, breath play, power exchange, bratting/brat taming, et cetera, but vis-a-vis the freakiest things you do together? 
Presented in a convenient list format, so that one can skip over the stuff one doesn’t like:   
Consensual non-con - He really likes the idea of using you against your will, particularly if it’s more coercive than outright brute force. He has this scenario in his head, of a coven scout being gently pushed into showing exactly how much they love their Emperor. ;) However, he’s absolutely not opposed to just pinning you down and fucking you, while you kick and scream and cry. 
Predicament play - He’ll bind you and touch himself while he watches you struggle to free yourself, preferably with a toy inside you. This tends to be a punishment. There’s something about you, spitting mad and totally helpless, all for his gratification, that he deeply enjoys. So far, you haven’t managed to escape without breaking down, which is when he likes to turn the toy up. :)
Non-human/alien genitalia - Belos will use potions or magic to change whatever he’s got going on that day (he’ll switch between a cock and a cunt, or some mix of both depending on his mood, but that’s more gender expression and less kink) into something impossible for humans and most witches. He’s given himself knots, and frills, and tentacles, and soft spikes - pretty much anything you can imagine, he’s indulged in. 
Monsterfucking - There have also been times that he’s lost control of his curse, and taken you like that - the first time was traumatic, because neither of you were prepared for it. It’s not something that happens often. Belos doesn’t like being out of control like that, but he does occasionally slip up, and the beast takes hold. Luckily, it recognizes you as its mate, so you’re safe (even if you can’t walk after), but anyone else is fair game for mauling. 
Primal play/scent kink - Belos has heightened senses as a side effect of the curse, so he’s really attracted to the way you smell. He’ll steal dirty panties or worn shirts to sniff while he masturbates, and the first time you came in a pair just for him, he lost his mind. He’s also always jockeying to get his nose between your thighs, or wherever else your scent is strong. Breasts (where applicable), neck, underarms, all fair game.  
Come marking - He’ll finish inside you, or on your panties, and make you walk around like while you do your work in the castle. Belos really wants to finish on your chest and rub it into your skin, too, but that would get... obvious, so he never goes that far when it might be noticeable to other people. He talks about it, though, when you're on your knees for him, or when he's inside you during your mid-day quickies.
And, of course, you’ll do it privately, in his quarters - he likes marking you when you’re nude, but there’s something about you being perfectly put together and going about your typical day-to-day - doing chores, baking, reading in his private library - while having his come all over your tits under your clothes that drives him crazy. (And you also smell strongly of him, so that’s part of it, too.)
Period play (where applicable) - Belos doesn’t mind a mess. He’ll fuck you while you’re on your period, and likes the way it looks when your blood is smeared all over his cock, and mixes with his come as it drips out of you. He’ll also go down on you while you’re on your period. He’ll leave your tampon in, or just focus on your clit while he fingers you. 
This doesn’t really have a kink category, but I thought the concept might be novel to some people - Sometimes he’ll finger your mouth like he’d finger your other holes. Gently tracing your lips, slipping his fingers past them to play with your tongue, pulling them out to softly rub and pinch your lips, pausing to kiss you deeply, dipping back in to fuck your mouth, et cetera.
If you’d like me to extrapolate on any of these, let me know! I already have a period play ask that I’m working on, though. :D

Various Owl House characters reacting to getting cheesed [sh1tpost]
Based on oomf from my other blog :0
Mostly randomized characters, probably ooc but really, who cares? This is meant to be silly
Tumblr media
Eda
Not gonna lie I feel like she'd see it coming and open her mouth as it comes flying. Eats it whole, almost doesn't flinch
Lilith
Yelps when she sees it coming, but her body doesn't react. Just takes it, it sticks to her face. She cringes at the smell of the fake cheese
Luz
Understands the meme, is a good sport about it,
"Cheesed to meet you too," as she grins
Amity
Similar to lilith but she manages to react; summons a bit of abomination good in an attempt to block it
Sternly tells you to never do it again
Gus
It slaps him right on the nose
"Oh cool! Human cheese!"
Tries eating it off his face as it slides down to his mouth.... immediately stops when the taste sinks in... heartbreak
Willow
😐
More confused than angry
Why?
Just peels it off and?? Awkwardly hands it back??
Hunter
Also confused, but like, angry confused
Doesn't get it at all nor does he appreciate the prank
Peels it off his face and just slaps it back at you
Red faced
Vee
So you know how cats kinda leave their heads and upper body backwards when they get cheesed while they're sitting?
They do that
Hope I explained that well
They fall over
King
Similar to eda; just eats it but hes not as agile as her so he just eats it off his skull
Hooty
Same thing as eda, but he'd much rather eat bugs
Principal Bump
????
??
Really REALLY confused; doesn't know if he should be angry or if he should laugh
Doesn't know its cheese.. doesnt smell like it
Confiscates it
Raine
What can I say? They've got a huge forehead
Beet red, just
Droops
Feeds the slice to eda
Darius
Do you have a d3ath wish?
Thats all I'm gonna say
Eberwolf
Jumps out of the way
Sniffs the cheese
Hisses
Osran
He's already seen it coming
No matter how hard you try, you will fail to hit him with it
Gives you a tired and disapproving look
Mason
Annoyed, peels it off and throws it away
Huffs at you before returning to his things
Hettie
Again
Do you have a d3ath wish?
Enjoy your kidneys while you still have them
Vitimir
Probably the only one (asides eda king and hooty) who will eat it
He's had worse, I hc he tests his own potions and ingredients
One kraft single isn't going to break him
Don't do it again, though
Adrian
Audibly squeals and attempts to slap it out of the air
Verbally berates you for even thinking about throwing something so vile at him
Will complain about it for the rest of the week
Terra
AGAIN
Do you have a d3ath wish?
Have fun being plant food
Will fake being a good sport, is actually pissed
Belos
This man has never seen such a thing
This man will perish if he drinks a McDonalds sprite; I'm sure a kraft single will inflict similar damage
Collector
Really confused and thought it was one of his lil stars for a second
"??"
Do not the lil guy
On a good day he might giggle and return the favor, but on a bad day...
Kiki
Starts ranting and raving about how disrespectful you are
Stomps her feet and raises her voice
Has a little tantrum
Camila
You don't think Luz has already done this with her?
Yeah no, she immediately knows whats going on
Pats your head, but sets a clear boundary to not do it again.. or at least to not aim for faces
Alador
Stands there stunned for a few seconds
For a moment you think he broke him
He peels it off and just observes it
"🤨⁉️⁉️"
Odalia
Immediately goes off, not too dissimilar to how she treats her family
Slap another piece on her out of spite
Mattholomule
Red faced and embarassed
Peels it off
Throws it away
Tries to play it off
Steve
Unfazed, peels it off
"Oh cool,"
Takes a bite of it, immediately grimaces, but keeps eating because he committed
Boscha
If she threatens to set Luzs eyes on fire over a light glyph, imagine what she'll do if you PURPOSEFULLY cheese her
Viney
Inspects it
...
Throws it away, tells you not to do it again, moves on
Barcus
Shakes it off his face, sneezes at it
"Why would you disrespect me like this?"
Jerbo
Wilts
Presses it in your hand
It's all crumpled and folded up now
He walks off
Gwendolyn
😐
Laughs it off but the look in her eyes is a look only a mother can muster: the message clear as day.. don't ever do that again
Dell
Genuine good sport
Laughs it off
Faust
You will be incinerated.
