I was randomly thinking about this little tidbit again and realized I never posted this video on here, so I thought I'd give you all psychic damage tonight.

there are many moments in life when you look to the distant horizon and see a looming calamity and just go, "That's not going to end well" and start diligently ignoring it.
when you have written thousands of words of a planned story, and you come to a place where it would be natural to put a chapter break, and start a new chapter...and then realise that all those thousands of words you wrote are just exposition and the story actually starts at the place you started 'Chapter Two', and the opening you wrote to 'Chapter Two' should actually be the opening for the whole story, and everything before it needs to be scrapped...
You GOTTA tell us more about fishie calling hog little lady...is it just teasing or is hoggy really their little lady...does 🐟 paint his nails? Braid his hair? Give him a kiss on his big big hands like a real gentleman would?
UWAAAAAA so like. i like to think of it as one of those things thats kiiiiind of teasing but also kiiiiiind of unspokenly genuine. i think he can get a little weird with it. and ABSOLUTELY i think they really like their little chances to be the butch tm and would looove to to do stuff like that. ive had a note sitting around for like a YEAR that i havent done anything with where i want to draw them cutting his hair for the mohawk. because i think about it alllllll the time. painting his nails is so cute i kick that one around all the time too.
Hey wait if memory magic is a thing why doesn’t gilded just go into Belos/Philip’s head and make him forget
Everything after Caleb left in that portal to the demon realm
Pull a “Belos” and treat him like a grim-walker
Tell him a demon/witch (titan trappers) took him and put him under a spell and did experiments on his body
And that Evelyn and her family helped save him
I mean, logistically, I think it would just be hard. Hunter and Luz barely got out of there alive, and getting Belos knocked out and still long enough to get someone in and out would ALSO be a challenge.
Morally speaking aside (which you sent me an ask saying it would be kinda messed up, Which It Is), like. Okay. Now they have to take care of him, though. And is that really fair to the grims? Or, heck, even to Caleb and Evelyn? Even if they DIDN'T want him dead (which most of the grims kinda do), they DEFINITELY don't want to be taking care of him. They've got enough on their plates without every moment being a chance at a Phillip Jumpscare that'll set off twelve different panic attacks and one (1) goopy arm curse. It just wouldn't be a good idea to keep him around in any state.
I'm honestly not even gonna get into the moral questions of whether this is better than killing him or whatever, that sounds like a lot of work. So, tl:dr, it's too hard and not worth the effort.
