SURVEY-QUESTION: I wonder, does a healthy Fanbase like the Owl-House-Fans know about Wokeness aka twisted Inclusivity? I mean, with Protag's who are just gay and it's no big deal and nothing getting Sacrificied to be pseudo-inclusive, what do you know about and/or think about the Woke, the thing that destroys Franchises? Can a member of a healthy Fanbase even imagine if Gender-Politics were seen by the Owl House Creators as something all Fun and Quality has to be fully aacrificed for?

Cool notes for the last entry. Philip says he completed getting all the portal items. But he never said that the Collector was going to help him with his portal. Instead, he said 'to complete my mission.' Later on in the epiosde, he reveals that he already finished the portal and implies the Collector was for soemthing else. So we already had a clue that Philip never cared for going home as much as it appeared in the entry

[@hanpines3808]

Oh shit you're right

[@metroidnerd9001]

I think he probably had all the pieces for the portal but didn't actually know how to build one. If he could have built one at the time and had all the pieces, why did he need Eda's portal?

[@breadwinner80]

​@@metroidnerd9001I think it's likely he didn't exactly need Eda's portal, but getting it would be easier than trying to build one from scratch for sure also: a portal needs titans blood the only ways to find titans blood at the time were eclipse lake (which turned out to be dried out) king (who nobody knew was a titan) and the old portal, which still functioned and had blood in the key

[@ashleypisarts]

He needed the Collector to wipe out the Boiling Isles, using the draining spell. His main goal was to wipe out the entirety of witch kind. You’re right!

[@silverv2964]

I mean, the man was so despicable he stayed for 400 years just to kill everyone in the isles, 400 years with already the ability to go home and he just stayed around to see that world suffer, that's true evil

[@javierrosas7238]

Philip wasn't an explorer he was an evil witch hunter who wants to wipe out all witch kind and be rewarded as a hero for saving humanity in his sick way. All the entries of the journal were false just to hide the truth about him. And worse he sacrificed his companions just to save himself from the avalanche and left them for dead without feeling remorse. For 400 years later Philip became a power hungry dictator of the Isles by the name Belos and he used The Collector to help him to complete his goal to destroy all the residents of the Isles by using a draining spell for the Day of Unity.

Major props to Luz for doing research, taking notes, almost making an actual working portal door, I could never do anything like that.

[@xxsupersayen34xxnoe33]

the good old explanation of: you need to complete the loop so the time loop can loop

[@elizabest4246]

@Amami Dreamz Luz and Lilith got him to the collector because Luz knew him througth the diary, if he didn't place the diary in the library the Luz would not know about him and go back in time to meet him, causing a paradox. The moment Belos met Luz in the past he was forced to keep her alive and guide her to maintain the time loop.

[@1v3i7llager]

*S U S T A I N I N G P A R A D O X*

Luz and Belos suffer from very similar afflictions. Both are self delusional in their own ways. Both have a form of savior complex. And both have little consideration for those close to them (though Luz has the gift of empathy), unless they feed their fantasies.

@@SebastienGendron-uk4po true but this is during his early years, with his original name and youth We know this because the beginning dialogue started off with saying he was donating it to the library, and his voice is still that of his younger self. Even if we take in all accounts that this took upon years, it's still impressive he somehow learned about relativity in the first place, not to mention how to make scientifically accurate portals with it (I say scientifically because we do see him scratch it out and the portal uses magic-energy blood, though even then it still could apply)

Eclipse Lake was a separate journey He lured other witches to hemp him then sacrificed them to the dangers, and apparently killed who survived to feed on their Palismen The Journey was to confirm the location of Titan Blood which led him to complete the portal But he didn’t leave as he saw the Demon Realm a threat to Humanity and sought to eradicate it before returning home, although lost the portal later and was stranded anyway. It was then he sought the Collector to gain the knowledge he needed to destroy the Demon Realm and make his plan That was when Luz and Lilith came in which was actually previewed in the last entry

[@darryljack6612]

Apart of me kind of feels bad for Philip, yea what he is now as Belos is just evil. But all he really want was just to return home, he was the younger brother so he probably relied on Caleb in many ways. But with them separated it must have been hard for him to have what was essentially his rock gone, and while Caleb found a way to find happiness, all philip had was obsession. He was more or less alone for so long.

[@elrusito5034]

To be fair at least before wanting to meet the collector he had the bright idea of genociding the boiling isles. That's why he told Luz that the Collector wasn't needed to build the portal, but for "something else". And later we learn that the Collector taught him the draining spell, possibly designing the entire coven system too.

[@BonnieThebunny7051]

Caleb changed his opinions quickly

[@evanbao93]

He came to rescue Caleb, only to kill him in a fit of rage due to Caleb marrying the Witch Evelyn. With no brother to rescue and no family to return to, Philip decided the best way to make up for his terrible deed is dedicating his life to eradicate all witches and return home as a hero.

"You assume Belos's goal comes from a genuine place. But that man doesn't care about about anything but his need to be the hero in his own delusion. And because of that, he fears what he can't control."

[@corundumkrabble5035]

Nearly everything in this journal was a bold faced lie. No wonder Luz' portal failed

[@animebrat76]

What I don’t get is why would he donate his journal to the very creatures he hates? Why give them the knowledge of his betrayals, his plans, tools he collected… I get the man is egotistical and everything, but I don’t think he’s an utter fool… (he’s a fool for believing Luz; but then again he probably trusted her because of the whole she’s human so that must mean she’s not as cunning and evil as these witches…) the man is from the 1600s, he’s a puritan, think of him as a very faithful “Amish” southern Paptist (his religious beliefs and practices turned up to a 20 on the 1 to 10 scale)… I get he’s evil… but if you rewatch some of the older Disney movies; some of those villains aren’t exactly evil… their motives are warranted… Callaghan lost his daughter in Big Hero 6, Shearcon? The Tiger from the Jungle Book was looking out for the jungle; the “human Cub” he perceived as a threat because of his kind being known to poach and start fires. In circumstances like this: “evil isn’t born; it’s made.”

[@moondivine2288]

It has to do with the butterfly affect. Belos knew one day Luz was going to get her hands on it. He needed her to trust him so, when Luz goes back in time she would have trusted Belos/Philip enough to help him and teach him the light glyph. If Luz never read his journal she wouldn’t have the need to travel back in time and Belos wouldn’t have met the collector. 2:28 is a huge hint for a certain episode

[@claireaquos6532]

Well, nothing in the journal would show that he has become Belos in the way. My theory is he donate it to make it seem like he really returned home afterwards. There's also the theory that he knew Luz and Lilith were from the future and therefor figure out about him like the other said. Howerver, I really wonder how he would figure that out before meeting Luz in the present...

I have questions about the time pool travel episode. If it was already stated in the diary that although blurred out, that Lillith and Luz helped Phillip in the past. Doesn't that mean Belos/Phillip already knew Luz would come to the Demon realm one day

[@chocochipjewel]

The order of events is - Philip writes about wanting to find Titans blood - Philip meets Luz and Lilith and finds the Collector - Philip records that in the journal with the blurred out sketches of them - Luz finds the journal and finds out about Eclipse Lake - Luz and Lilith travel to before Philip wrote about them and cause him to include them in the book Philip DOES know that sometime in the future another human will come to the Demon Realm, that's why he gave his journal to the library - so Luz could find it and travel back to help him.
