Another entry into the “Belos/Philip in dresses” series. This dress, for which the reference Photo is right here:
I love drawing Belos as the old man he is. Like YESSSSS show me the old man flab. Show it to me. Make him jiggly under the arms and on his sides. Give the dilf love handles YESSSSSS
it doesn't really matter whether or not belos would be homophobic or transphobic or racist or whatever as a person when as a character his role in the narrative is to embody an abstract oppressor that murders and subjugates an abstract embodiment of a generalized Other (imagined as witches and demons — an allusion to stereotypes about various marginalized people in real world)
when people call belos a villain that ultimately thrives on bigotry inevitably someone will come and say "oh, but he isn't a bigot! he doesn't hate minorities — he just hates witches!" but the thing is, witches in the owl house ARE minorities. not in a literal sense — I'm sure there's plenty of white cishet witches — but an abstract and generalized depiction of the feared Other.
now obviously there are also many things to say about belos' own otherness but i don't want to go there right now. just wanted to get this take out of my head
thats right! i'm still doing this! and i'm not sorry :) but i'm not NEARLY finished. i plan on redrawing the remaining screenshots in part 3, but while i'm still doing that, enjoy smexy young belos as possesed hunter :)
oh and maybe if we get good shots of belos in the finale i'll redraw those too, who knows :)
(thanks to a server member who taught me how to do the cut)
The chamber was a holding cell poorly disguised as a bedroom, split down the middle by a thick transparent barrier. The inner half was dark, depthless and black as the void.
"And which of my brothers are you?" Konrad Curze asked from somewhere within that darkness.
"Ferrus Manus," his visitor said plainly. "Primarch of the Tenth."
Ahdhsjsjejs AHHHHH I love this illithid so much!!!! I was trying to make Emps mad because his angry voice is nice (totally forgot I actually have to take the deal for that) and ended up with this.
So many fucking arguments about how Emps is only using us, but he legit listens to our request for privacy!! Why has no one ever brought this up before? I'm so upset I didn't know about this until now. (Yes I always did straight up tell him I said no) But like I love it so much! Squid husband is the best! <3
The Emperor in your new Mortarion fic really said “Wow you’ve got nothing going for you huh? not even an army or royal title or anything. But what can I say, you are the one dating my cringefail toolson after all. Didn’t expect much more from him. Anyways try not to irreparable break him/yourself byeee” and just up and left. Hilarious
Fulgrim canonically had/has multiple partners, Roboute has something going on with Yvraine and a coparenting situation with Cawl, not to mention whatever the fuck happened with Sanguinius and the Silent King. But Morty decided he’s gonna have a completely normal spouse whose hobbies are like, running a noosphere tumblr blog.
An hour later the Emperor probably barges into Malcador’s room and vents (haha amogus joke) to him about what an absolutely basic partner Mortarion has. “They probably don’t even know basic martial combat!!” He whines, “And I’m supposed to invite them to important events now?? This is disgraceful honestly. XIV lived on a planet filled with mutants and xenos and necromancer wizards and he chose what? Some mortal who ‘loves and cherishes’ him?? Ugh. I would cry but it would mess up my pure gold makeup.” (The entire time he’s saying this he’s lying down on Malcador’s lap. Practically crushing him with the weight of his armour)
Corvus and Vulkan meeting Mortarion's mortal and seeing that not only are they not fucking insane, but are actually respectable and normal:
Where the fuck did you find them what planet what region of space please Brother we need to know wherethefuckdidyou-
While I'm not saying Outer Belos is more "good" than Inner Belos, but it's clear that the Belos in Hollow Mind is a bit more aggressive and stable with his attacks. Plus, more nonchalant about just simply making another Grimwalker, while the Outer is more adamant on waiting for as long as possible.
