King’s Dad was a Collector Theory
Going off of tonight's episode, we were given murals of events that happened in the past, similar to how we were told of Caleb’s past through murals as well.
Though this time, the murals depicted events that occurred during the Collector’s time. I’ve organized them in the timeline that I see best fits the story and came to the realization that we’ve seen a similar scenario play out with another character’s past.
Tumblr media
According to the mural above, in the beginning, there were four original Collectors that were tasked with observing and preserving objects throughout the galaxy. And if anyone opposed, the Collectors would eradicate them. Despite this, all Collectors are seen to have the signature expression of joy, they’re always seen looking happy doing what they do. Eventually, a fifth collector is born (the purple one who we can assume is the Collector we see in the show) and he is seen being happily welcomed by the other Collectors.
Tumblr media
Then we move on to the next mural above. The most interesting mural. It can be read in so many ways. Yet it’s the mural that I think reveals the true origins of King’s father. As I interpreted it, the mural depicts one of the Collectors discovering a skull and placing it on his head... then he’s seen becoming a titan. Notice the eyes. His yellow eyes are noticeably the only feature that remain the same, indicating that this is the same Collector that placed the skull on his head.
The mural above shows a Collector becoming a Titan.
You may believe that the mural shows two different Collectors and a Titan but that is not true. Because we have the next mural below.
Tumblr media
The mural above shows the exact same Titan/Collector with his yellow eyes. And next to him we see what a REAL Titan actually looked like. Notice that real Titans had RED eyes. The eyes aren't the only noticeable distinction, however. REAL Titans seem to have had a very skeleton-like body with bat wings. The Collector that became a Titan is vastly different. He still holds his yellow eyes but now has a blue body of fur and no wings.
Another thing to notice is that the mural above shows a battle between the yellow-eyed Titan and the red-eyed Titans. We know this battle well. It was the battle where King (as an egg) hears his father scream for him in a roar. And what can be seen in the mural? An egg. This is very much the battle that King hears, where his father can be heard fighting for him. And judging from where King’s egg is located in the mural, it seems that he was taken from his father.
His father being the yellow-eyed Titan that we now know came to be after a Collector was seen placing a skull on his head.
This Titan was never seen again after this battle.
Tumblr media
We move on to the next image above. Where the other remaining three Collectors (along with the new purple one) have located a certain planet. 
But one Collector is missing.
And the Collectors look eager... as if they at last found who they were searching for on this very planet.
They had found the location of their missing brother. 
Tumblr media
The planet the remaining Collectors had arrived on... was none other than where the Boiling Isles is.
And, while in the beginning they all looked so excited to have finally found this planet... now they looked enraged. The mural above clearly showing the remaining three Collectors long losing their signature joyful expressions. They’re not happy with what they discovered on that planet.
Notice that our purple Collector is also missing. And the flames at the Titan’s feet is now purple, too. Seems like purple Collector was sent in first to find their missing brother, and when he too didn't return, that’s when the three finally all stepped in to see why now two of their brothers hadn't returned from this planet. 
Only to be met with the discovery that their long lost missing brother... is now gone. And their purple youngest one is nowhere to be found. And the only ones remaining are the real Titans who had won that battle against the yellow-eyed Titan. And those Titans now looked terrified.
What had happened on this planet was obvious to the Collectors: the Titans had killed their brothers. And, in anger, they:
Tumblr media
Collectors are known to eradicate those who oppose. Destroying is something that is also in their job description. They are very capable of killing. And this seems to be the fate that all Titans fell into when the three remaining Collectors arrived on the Boiling Isles and discovered the fate of their missing brothers.
So... what happened?
In short, a Collector fell in love with the Titan’s world. So much so, that he gave up on who he was supposed to be: a Collector. And chose to live as a Titan... and even had a Titan baby. A baby we now know as King.
A story exactly similar to someone else’s in the show: Caleb’s.
Caleb was also a someone who was different. He was a human. But he fell in love with the Witch’s world. He gave up on his life in the human world and chose to live as a witch... and even had a baby with one.
Two men who chose to forget their old lives to continue living in a new world that they had fallen in love with.
And they both paid the price in blood.
Speaking of blood, a Collector’s blood may be the reason “Titan blood” is where magic comes from. Because it turns out it’s not actually “Titan Blood”... but blue Collector blood. King’s dad’s blood. But that’s a theory for another time.

I’m very interested now. The Collector felt like such a downgrade from Belos and his regime, because facing down the Collector didn’t seem to be tackling the real issues of colonialism and institutionalized ethnic cleansing. To be absolutely clear, the Collector did have a hand in those things with Belos.  But that element didn’t seem fully acknowledged, and the conflict was just going to be a God treating the world like a playground. A similar dynamic to Superman and Mr. Mxyzptlk.
But NOW? It seems there’s opportunity to illustrate the pipeline between the worst kind of fandom, and fascism. The people who absolutely lose their minds when anything about their corporate property changes; or when fellow fans introduce a different take or opinion. Because rather than engage with the morales and story of what they love, they just use memories and aesthetic to construct a fortress (or a womb) against reality. Typically in response to avoiding empathy for other people. Or peoples.
New episode premieres in 15 minutes! I’m even more excited now than when I found out Lilith would be back!
- - Edit - - My roomie and I made a mistake, we had to wait another hour for the episode in our time zone. So he’s going to watch Eagles vs Giants for an hour.

A kofi gave me free reign to redraw a scene from TOH and I've been thinking about this since we found out King's dad has been watching and loving him this whole time - I'm 100% sure he said hi back 🥺
(bgs are edited from the show)
[Image Description: Six drawings. The first three are a redraw of a scene from The Owl House. King sits on a ship and looks out at the body of the Titan. He raises an arm and says “Um… hi.” The next three drawing show the Titan watching the scene on a cube in the In-Between Realm. He tenderly replies, “Hi.” The piece has a watermark that reads “kaereth. Do not repost.” End Description. Description by quailfence.]

HAPPY 1 YEAR FOR TOH FINALE!!!!!!! (how have i only draw titan luz one other time 😭) as most of you can probably assume this show meant so much to me, and it also gave me so much to look forward to- i've met so many amazing people because of my own art as well as the work others have shared on here <3 Huge thanks to Dana Terrace for everything she's done, and for creating these characters in the first place.
beside what they've done for me personally, drawing these characters so many times has also helped me improve significantly, so slide 2 is a redraw of the first time i ever draw lumity, and the others are just color sketches i had fun with last week.
ALSO I WANTED TO INCLUDE OWLBERT WAFFLES AND FLAPJACK BUT I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO DRAW BIRDS FOR THE LIFE OF ME ES
as always, i hope yall are doing great, make sure to go eat smth, and drink some water 💜💜

Another thing about the Titan that I enjoyed was how he's so fundamentally different from Belos's christian idea of god. She's bigender. She's super chill and takes the appearance of a 40 something dad when talking to mortals. That loud, disruptive woman who is bi, commits treason, and refuses to fall in line? Yeah He's been watching her and is a huge fan. She loves bread puns and uses his powers to make magic more accesible for everyone. He trusts a 14 year old girl with the power of god to save the world and defeat the white, straight man who came to colonize his world.
