Fergus Is A Precious Boi And I'll Gladly Cut A Bitch Who Thinks Otherwise.

Fergus is a precious boi and I'll gladly cut a bitch who thinks otherwise.

We don’t accept Fergus slander over here.

Pfft. 🤣

nice bro. um… *kisses u hard* epic…

Yep. Now that I got into The Owl House Fandom...I've seen shall we say...questionable "fan" content of The Wittebane Brothers and I just....can't.

But honestly. I can understand how Philip can get hurt from Caleb leaving the Human Realm with Evelyn. Philip possibly looked up to him and aspired to be just like his brother as a child.

But Caleb had to sacrifice literally A LOT for him. Caleb was possibly only a few years older than him (like maybe 5 or 4 years at best.) and he had to grow up at a very young age to provide for him when he probably wasn't able to do the same for himself.

Which also means that Caleb also pushed aside his love life to devote himself to his little brother. Maybe when they had met Evelyn, she had "dazzled" him by not only showing him magic, but he actually fell head over heels for her to the point he gave up being a witch hunter to be with her.

In Philip's eyes, Evelyn's the evil, sorceress who parents tell their children about at night. And that he was going to "save" his brother from potential death.

But, when he actually saw that Caleb and Evelyn were actually happy together, chances were that he was in a really bad state of denial, and felt as if Caleb had purposely left without telling him, or worse...abandoned him.

It was probably that mindset that drove Philip into a rage that eventually cost his brother's and Evelyn's lives. (I think he might have killed her as well, but I'm not sure.) Because at that moment, he didn't see his brother. All he saw was nothing more than a backstabbing traitor, to not only their own people, but to him as a person.

Philip loved his brother, yes. But it was not "that" kind of love, like some..."fan" content has shown. Little siblings can become too attached and possessive of their older brothers/sisters because if they were to get into relationships, or have friend groups that help balance the responsibility of taking care of their siblings, then the younger sibling would feel as if they are being abandoned or left out as it were.

And when you throw in the fact that it was highly implied that Philip didn't have any friends besides Caleb as a child...it isn't surprising that you're going to get one hell of a mess that would spiral out of control sooner or later.

And with the grimwalkers of his brother...it was highly possible that Philip was trying to re-live his and his brother's lives through that clone, but with each time having failed, it just caused him to fall deeper, and deeper into madness, in a way that he can never, ever be redeemed.

However, there could also be a chance that there is a part of him that really is devastated over all the pain and suffering he put millions of innocent people through. But until that happens...he still needs to be held accountable for his crimes.

y’all ever see a piece of fan content about your favorite character that is so horrifically different from what you personally believe and you just

Yep. That's why I never bothered with that crap-excuse of a series and movie sequel. Dreamworks had done us Spirit fans dirtier than Warner Bros. did with Space Jam: A New Legacy.

When you see yet another monoracial nonwhite character get replaced by a racially ambiguous light skinned actor/design:

When a sequel chooses to be a stereotypical Girl and her Horse story instead of following up on the OG themes of freedom and dangers of colonization:

When people complain about diversity in current media yet remain silent when a crap sequel erases the few positive representations of Native Americans:

Seeing the crew try to defend the bad choices made:

Riduur,

I miss you more with every day that passes. I often wish you were here beside me to assure me and comfort me with your presence. Selfishly, I know. I’m glad you’re not, I’m glad you’re safer than I am. 

Perhaps I shouldn’t say that. I would hate for you to worry. I know you will and I have to admit that a part of me is pleased you care enough to do so. That is also selfish of me. 

I always thought love was about being selfless, about putting the wellbeing of another person before your own. I will always do what’s best for you, my love, never doubt that. 

But being in love has made me realise how utterly selfish I really am. 

I know I shouldn’t even be with you. I know my entire being should be dedicated to the GAR, to serving the Republic and not thinking of my own desires. It scares me sometimes, how much you mean to me and what I would be willing to do for you. 

I think I understand better now why the jedi speak of attachment as a path to the darkside. 

I’m sorry, I don’t know why I’m talking like this. 

Being away from you has given me far too much time to think. It was simpler when my only worry for the future revolved around battle tactics and the general’s next crazy scheme. 

But I also never realized just how much I was lacking. I never gave it any thought before meeting you. At least I tried not to. 

I’ve always thought I was luckier than most, to have a purpose in life, a cause to fight for. I still believe that, and I am still proud to be a soldier of the Republic, to fight beside my brothers. 

But now I don’t know if I’m quite as willing to lay down my life for a cause that would keep me from you. 

It’s hard not to feel bitter at times and I don’t like that feeling. I’d rather just think of you and your voice and your gentle hands. 

I can’t wait to return home to you and let you remove my armour, piece by piece as you did the last night we had together. Your patience and dedication was enough to make me tremble. I don’t know that I deserve it from you. But I am selfish and I will keep it for myself as long as I can. 

I love you, I love you more than I ever imagined was possible. It’s both frightening and liberating to admit that. 

You make me want to be the best version of myself and you give me hope that I can be more than what I am. 

I don’t know if that makes any sense, I feel as though I’m rambling. There’s so much I want to tell you and so much I don’t know how to put into words. I’m thinking of the last time we kissed and remembering your face when you said goodbye to me. You told me you’d wait as long as it took for me to return to you. I promised I would come home. I intended to keep that promise to you, my Riduur.

For now, I hope this letter finds you well and I hope it brings you some comfort while I can’t be there to hold you and kiss you and remind you how beautiful you are. I love you, now and until the end of time.
