King's Dad - Tumblr Posts

my first toh theory

As Luz says in the beginning of “Yesterday's lie”: "So, according to Philip's instructions, the hardest part to making a portal was finding someone who knew how to build it." So that means that Philip didn't build it himself, which makes sense since designing something and building it is two different jobs, and it's realistic that one man couldn't do it all and needed an assistant. This brings me to wonder who did he find to make the portal? Once I saw people pointing out the eye on a wagon of a (supposedly) King's dad that looks identical to the one on the portal, I immediately thought that there's a connection between him and Philip. So my first toh theory is that that unnamed demon helped Philip build the portal.

I love these siblings so much

Endless things to say about these two...

Luz means "light", while Hunter was named by Belos in accordance with witch hunters:

Their encounters with one another in Hunting Palismen and Hollow Mind would set future events in motion:

and also led up to Luz telling him "You're family now":

What happened in Thanks to Them reflects the Hollow Mind paintings shown below:

Belos took both of their lives, and we hear a contrast between Luz saying "I feel like I should be used to this by now, but...I still don't know what to say" and Hunter expressing the desires which he never dared to express in Belos's throne room, since the Titan had yet to pass the wisdom of choosing oneself to Luz:

They were pulled out of the water in which they were sinking, by the parent of their adoptive sibling (who also cared about them deeply):

The loved ones who revived them, passed them the last of their strength in order for these kids to have new life:

And King's dad asked Luz to choose whether she'd receive his life force which he offered, while Belos coercively violated Hunter to use his body like he would a puppet.

The things that Luz and Hunter went through, in parallel, underscore the clash between Belos who told endless lies about the Titan's will, and the Titan himself - King's father - who had very different plans for the Isles. Caught in between:

They were put through so much.

(The big comparison post I made before thinking of this analysis - it's just a picset and not a meta/analysis - is here: link)

I’m gonna re-watch it with my sister.

I’M GONNA BAWL MY EYES OUT AGAIN GOODBYE.
