have to laugh when people say the finale stripped belos of his characterization bc like. if you thought his desire to save humanity was still entirely pure that’s on you my man. the fact that he tried to MURDER luz, a human child, not once but twice (three times?) makes that pretty fuckin obvious. like no he’s not evil for evil’s sake, but he’s also not genuinely trying to help anyone but himself. he’s trying to commit genocide because he thinks all of these people are abominations. fuck he even makes it clear that getting the title of witch hunter general is half the goal in kings tide. was saving humanity important to him originally? maybe. but it’s been 400 years. he’s murdering his brother regularly and trying to kill even the humans that disagree with him because he is so deep in his beliefs that he can’t let go

also i have a fever so legally you can’t be mad at me if i’m wrong about any of these facts </3 that’s how it works for sure (lying)

#toh spoilers #the owl house #rescued from my drafts i don’t have a fever anymore <33 #should clarify. i do love belos. i didn’t word this great bc of the aforementioned fever but #it’s less that i don’t think belos was ever doing what he thought would help humanity #and more that. he is so far in denial about his own motives and what he’s done that he cannot be genuine in his desire to save humanity #he’s running on sunk cost fallacy. if he can’t be the one to save the day and stop all the witches then what did he even do this for #not that i didn’t wish he had more in the finale but some of the complaints i’ve seen about it are WEIRD
