#Belos is sun-ripened and smells of bees and forgotten memories.

I loved the TOH ending.  Belos finally accepting that he’s more than a doll and that he is done blindly following what others tell him to. Him realizing that if God’s response to any potential conflict or opposition is to have them all wiped out without even giving any of them a chance then it isn’t a just and fair one. And that if all the sacrifices Belos has made so far aren’t enough for God (including Caleb) maybe nothing will be. Him refusing to keep playing God’s game and quitting his mission in an act of protest. Belos leaving with the Collector to go beyond God’s realms of Heaven and Earth, both of them getting to escape the narrative they’ve been trapped in, getting to choose what they want to do and who they want to be.  Them exploring the universe they’re apart of and trying to chart it all down though it’s impossible to capture it all and that’s okay. Belos finally getting to an astronomer like he always wanted, getting to see the stars up close and witness things beyond anything else he’s ever experienced and Belos can’t understand it all but he still accepts it. Cole and Belos finally getting to be proper friends and Belos and his curse deciding to stop tormenting each other and learn to coexist together. And all three of them listen to Pigeon Pit and Cavetown and experiment with names and pronouns. And Belos helps Cole raise their Spanish Moon Moth and Cole helps Belos cut his hair into a mullet and dye it peach and orange except for that one naturally red strand of hair that Belos finally allows to grow out-
