#obron

[a-magpie-in-gravesfield]

All the pilot stuff that came out about Obron (AKA pilot Belos) made me think I should make at least one thing related to it, so I’m gonna make a keychain where one side is his pilot design, and the other side will be his proof of concept design :3

Will update when the keychains are made !

I think one of the things from the original toh bible that I'm glad was changed is making Belos the emperor himself and not someone manipulating/co-opting a "rightful ruler's" will.

The way Belos warps the "Titan's will" in the actual show is directly akin to religious colonization and manipulation—imposing a god figure and then saying you're the sole voice of said god, as a means of control. Meanwhile, Obron is implied to be using the will of an actual tangible "rightful" monarch to enact control, not an intangible god, which removes these themes and could easily just end up falling into the trap of "oh no, it's just the wrong person in power, nothing is wrong with the actual system. Monarchy/empire is fine actually with the good guy in charge".

Of course, I trust the toh team would have pulled it together somehow if this wasn't changed. But Belos both being the actual emperor himself, and also creating the whole empirial rule & coven system himself, is such a more succint way to directly position the systems of power—not just the man in charge—as the fundamental problem.

Of all the differences between the beta designs and the final designs, Belos' is the one I find most interesting.

Seeing them side by side, it's very apparent that only a few elements from the initial concepts remain, like the overall large, cloaked shape and the mask. But even then, the concepts are missing the yellow and white palate, the armored element, even the horns that I would argue are a central point of his design. It's just very interesting to see the departure from the monolithic, mossy, shaman-esque look of Obron to the polished, stately, distinctly imperial aesthetic that Belos wound up with.

#obron really doesn't look as overtly villainous as belos do that makes me wonder #especially paired with that picture of beta hunter that was released this is interesting #the owl house #toh #emperor belos #belos #philip wittebane #obron #toh analysis

Shadow Puppets AU - Obron and Pupa

Another collab between Bragi and I. 

We actually love this Beta design for Belos aka “Obron” and the original concept of an insect-like Emperor being kept from hatching, he’s just so...something. We both kinda wish the design had been used in the show somehow, so we’re throwing him into the Shadow Puppets AU for an arc

Greetings my fellow humans I have seen the original TOH pilot and I am going insane. HEADMISTRESS LILITH?? AND WHAT WAS HER BAT TRANSFORMATION WAS SHE ORIGINALLY THE CURSED ONE? OR WAS THAT SOMETHING THAT WITCHES JUST DO AT WILL?? (SHE’S SO CUTE LOOK AT HER ) I HAVE QUESTIONS !

(Her bat form remind me of the Chiropterans from my fav anime next to Pokemon: Blood + 😭!!) Anyways her interactions with Eda were so fun !! Man I would have been so curious to see where she ended up at the end ! And her relationship to Obron. Speaking of which, sounds pretty ruthless! So it turns out the gems on their clothes originally did have a purpose (apart from showing Eda’s curse progressing). They can shock you! Reminds me of the shock collars in the original Zootopia storyboards.

I read from the pitch that Eda is offered to heal her curse (which appears to just cause her to age?) in return for giving them Luz. Apparently a human soul is required for whatever Obron wants to do. Curious that it is mentioned there are more stray humans than just Luz… but he still wants HER (and not William? Hmmm). ANYWAY yeah this… COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than what we got. 😭 Lilith being headmistress sounds so cool to me, but I do wonder if this version of her was also gonna get redemption considering she seems more cold.

Lord Obron AU

The Wittebros

Lord Obron & The Huntsman

Caleb & Philip Wittebane

Messing around with the au more still fiddling with Philips design

More about AU underneath

AU starts with everything changing when Philip reaches the isles the collector reaches him first helps enact his plan to become emperor before making an attempt on Caleb’s life, preaches his word to the masses. Caleb attempts to stop him and pays a great price.

Belos winds up getting merged with the collector trapped as only a shadow where as Caleb becomes cursed by titan.

Fast forward a little more than a hundred years the isles are in a state of unrest and disrepair, Lord Obron, the cursed man formerly known as Caleb Wittebane is the protector of Bonesborough.

Obron is somewhat estranged from the clawthorne flamily by no one other than himself. They still treat him as family and he still visits but is distant.

Obron does not bring his brother back but instead Philips scattered followers find the secret to create a grimwalker for him to possess.

Only able to find enough of Belos remains for one grimwalker. Obron frees him and later takes him in as an apprentice, going by Pip and calls himself the Silver Scout much to Obrons chagrin.

Owl House fandom and Villain Kinnies wake up cuz Beta Belos Just dropped

This design not only makes me extremely curious to know what beta Philip looked like cuz this man hasn't eaten shit since the 1600's

But also the Locks in his hands... I assume originally before they decided to make him consume the palism throw his eyes, I think it would be by the hands which honestly makes a lot more sense If that's the case.

okay so it seems that contrary to many people's theories belos was meant to be revealed as a human witch hunter from his very conception. william (beta hunter) was supposed to be a 16th century witch-hating human boy and his description in toh pitch bible already mentions a familial connection to councilor obron (beta belos). the only thing is i am not sure if they're supposed to be puritans, since william's attire doesn't seem puritan to me

#the owl house #emperor belos #toh hunter #belosposting #philip wittebane #toh pitch bible

[sepublic]

Speaking of; The Owl House's pitch bible got leaked as well! So while I look for the rest of it, let’s examine some interesting tidbits I found on Proto-Belos, or 'Obron' as he was once known, and William AKA Proto-Hunter!

Can I just say, I'm quite smug to know that Belos resurrecting the Titan as his endgame was always the original plan? I called it from the start! It was also kinda obvious, but c'mon. The Bionicle fan in me was obsessed.

I'm not surprised about the mentions of Pupa, or the name Obron or even the appearance; We've actually seen all of this before! But what does make me curious is the mention of two other councilors... So there's supposed to be a trio? Again, I always bring up the three statue motif in my speculation about the original plans of the show, I wonder if there's any connection there. Would Kikimora have been one of the other councilors, and who would've been the third? And it seems the coven system was always a thing, early on at least.

Yeah, the mention of '500 years' and the connection to William, etc. Even as Obron he was supposed to have been a human witch hunter turned actual witch. Comparing this to the pilot we got, it may not be Obron that the characters are referring to, since he's not the Emperor. But maybe he declared himself Emperor since he was basically the only one in charge by that point.

Makes me wonder if he hates humans under the delusion of 'I hate modern humans'. He hates what humanity has become and he's taking out his anger on modern humans; We also know the main reason he wants Luz in the pilot, to awaken the Titan. I presume Obron preserved William in stasis and hid him away, only for Luz to wake him up earlier than intended. I can imagine the scene/episode where Obron realizes William has been awake and roaming about for a while now...

There's the confirmation that Prince William and Hunter are the same character, or were. As I guessed, his witch-hunting tendencies would've been established early on as a strange gag, a quirk, only to become so much more darkly significant. I wonder if in this draft, Obron's past as a witch hunter also has relevance; Does he think he's 'saving' humanity by using the Titan to conquer both worlds, wiping out the denizens of one? Also him being a feral kid subsisting off of food given to him by friends is such Labyrinth Runners vibes. Was William always going to have his dynamic with Willow, given Luz plays a bigger role in him opening his mind?

Given we had a 'proof of concept' animation leaked a while back, I wonder if that was an even earlier draft to the pitch bible, given William is PRINCE William. Maybe he's meant to be an actual European human, because European bigotry towards witches existed back then I think, even if it wasn't as pronounced. And Obron does bear a resemblance to one of the Proto-Belos designs, though I'm not sure which came first.

…Huh. Would William have been Obron’s nephew or. God. Would he have been his brother. And while William never grew up because magical stasis, Obron did and now sees his brother be the exact same but also change. Man. And William just has to reconcile, when he gets his memories back, the jump from his brother, a kid like him, to Obron. So we still got the desperate attempt to preserve his brother, only for his brother/Hunter to ‘betray’ him.
