okay so like we all know that philip is definitely belos, but i just noticed something i don’t think anyone else has
did this mf take his shovel and turn it into a staff??? it even does the weird bouncy effect thing when it pops out
I think it’s more likely that this was a reference to his inventing skills as he was around YEARS before tech like that was a thing but he was able to make this shovel, so years later a staff like that would be no problem.
I didn’t know anyone was still not sure if Belos was Phillip until I came onto tumblr today. People were talking about the reveal and I went ??? What?? I watched the whole episode what reveal?? Eda’s dad? Only for people to mean Phillip/Belos. This feels like Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond all over again.
There’s a possibility that this is just supposed to represent his voice getting corrupted as he’s taken over more and more by wild magic; that him having a different VA as pure Philip was to keep us from having his identity confirmed by the VA. That’s possible.
But with the “The Emperor is looking forward to meeting you”, and his eyes sometimes being blue and sometimes being green, I’m genuinely starting to wonder if there are two people inside Belos. If he and his brother are… combined, somehow. Some magical accident? Is that why he built a new body– not to put himself into, but to separate out his brother?
INTERESTING!
That would explain how Hunter seems to be a replica of Phillip’s brother in every way but this:
Is identical to Phillip himself…
Either that or Phillip had to use bits of himself to complete the spell??
I still feel like so much more is pointing towards Hunter being some-sort of sacrifice, but this theory is going to be nagging at me for a long ass time
Can’t help but feel like these two were an intentional shoutout to the Boschlow ship. Which makes sense, since there was absolutely no way the actual ship could ever happen in the show (except as a joke).
I kinda want to know more about these two now and what their deal was. F**k Disney for cutting the show short.
i am so happy with this episode, this show always surpasses my expectations. they show how every relationship faces misunderstandings at one point or another, no one is perfect, but luz and amity talk it through. they communicate and that is how they make it work. they are two 14 year old girls who have issues of their own and are trying to understand their emotions which is always difficult. it almost always causes conflict at one point or another but these two don’t let that ruin their relationship. they support each other through their troubles. yes they have disagreements sometimes, yes they can upset each other but thats normal and they fight their way through it because they love each other.
Love, among many things, is vulnerability. If you can’t give enough of yourself that your partner can hurt you, then it isn’t much of a relationship. Love endures when it overcomes hardship.
Trying to engage with TOH fandom can be a chore sometimes. While I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE the latest episode “Any Sport In A Storm” for having Willow in the spotlight in full, bringing back fan-beloved characters like Viney and Skara, and making me truly appreciate Hunter’s character and his role in an episode for the first time, and I would like to go into any of these at length… it seems like most of the fandom is more joyous over getting food for their Huntlow/Winter ship.
None of that is the least bit surprising, though, especially in a fandom that loves shipping. (And so do I! Shipping is my life and blood, just… not this ship in particular :p) I’m happy for all y’all Winter shippers, I truly am. But like before, I still find the discourse I have with my peers irl much more engaging and thought provoking than the ones I encounter online.
In the meantime, here’s where my brain’s at rn:
Sooooooo, do we have a ship name for Viney x Skara yet, or is it just me? ^^;
The amount of time you spend on characters and scenes are important.
That this episode had barely enough time to cover so much content, yet chose to focus on her conflicted expression and the panning shot of her window sill tells us something important about Willow. That she’s possibly a relevant character again makes me hope we get a Willow-centric episode about her and Amity truly reconciling with each other and the past.
