    EDIT : I added a Dropbox link in the description so you can download the audio files separated if you want to do a dub in a different language :)
    FAQ and LINKS :
    www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheEmperorsCoven
    ko-fi.com/magpievraven
    Can I use your animations for edits/tik toks ? Yes ! Just please don’t re upload the whole video unedited. I’m also ok with fan dubs as long as you credit me and link to the original 🙂
    For edits credits would be nice too but I’ve seen my stuff reposted so much I don’t really care as much lol, just don’t claim you made the original and we’re cool
    Was the frog rock a Grimwalker metaphor ? Yes 🙂
    I like doing a bit of foreshadowing hehe
    I also wanted to create some of my own stuff to add to the canon story, and considering Philip canonically kept Caleb’s coat (and his childhood mask, he wears it in one of the portraits as an adult in the Boiling Isles), I think he would keep trinkets like that, he’s definitely the kind to get really attached to objects he gives meaning to.
    Are you still animating the portraits ? Yes ! The next video will have some of the portrait scenes featured 🙂 I wanted to do this one first to introduce a bit of lore I want to re use later. The next episode will be about the day Caleb left.
    When is the next video coming out ? I have no idea, it’ll take me a minimum of 6-7 months to complete it because I’m just one guy animating, that’s if nothing bad happens in my life to delay the process 🤞
    What softwares do you use ?
    Clip Studio Paint for backgrounds, Toon Boom Harmony for animation (tablet is Intuos pro large)
    Did you work on TOH ? No 🙂 I’m just a very passionate fan 😂

      It was the society he grew up in. Believing that witches and everything magic involved is evil. But it was just the fear of not understanding things and the unnatural. Hence why Philip was scolded for writing with his left hand because he's a lefty whereas people usually write with their right hand. That was the era of the Salem witch trials.

I have seen plenty of documentaries about how they would chase Albinos and about survivors talking about how they tried to attack them and stuff. Reality is... stay away from witches. Fictional witches? depends on the author. That left hand thing. Only happened in superstitious places. In the country I live in they used to believe that they would die if they sleep on the bed and therefore fell asleep sitting not laying. The bible actually depicts left handed men as very good at slinging stones and one Israelite left-handed man was a hero so I honestly do not know why they get hate for. Ig them being rare made them lose their minds or something.

  • @docfox4353
    @docfox4353 4 месяца назад +205

    I love the differences in how the brothers react to death around them. His parents death probably made Caleb start doubting if there was a God, and if there was, why he would take his parents away. That is likely what enabled him to be more open-minded to Evelyn, the demon realm, and magic.
    Philip on the other hand seems to represent a lot of typical Puritan attitudes. God punished those who did not follow his word. His parents' deaths were the consequence of not being good people, and Mr. Frog's death was the result of Philip himself not writing with his right hand (I really appreciate how you incorporate a lot of actual history into this, showing how the messed up Puritan ideology plays a lot into how Belos was formed)
    Some of my headcanons for Belos include that he gave some of the Grimwalkers very Puritan names like "Fear God", Sorry for Sin", etc. to remind himself he was doing God's work.

    • @MagpieInGravesfield
      @MagpieInGravesfield  4 месяца назад +51

      Philip was also the younger one, so when the kids had to obey by the rules of the village in Gravesfield, Philip was more affected by it than Caleb. Caleb was also the one who taught him how to be a witch hunter to fit in - maybe Caleb didn’t believe it too much himself at first, but he was really young and he didn’t realize it would have consequences later, he was just doing what he thought he had to do to keep his little brother safe at the time

But yeah, honestly it would be rather interesting to show that Caleb, due to the hard life he used to have in the human world, had his moments where he doubted his faith even BEFORE Evelyn, like that "if God is merciful and forgiving and loves ALL of his children, why would he let us die and live in such misery with little to no hint of hope?", while Philip probably would have had a totally different reaction, clinging so much to his faith and religion to keep doing in life, but to the point it eventually became an obssesion/fanaticism. Also, i kind of imagined Philip/Belos would have called the first golden guard "Adam", cuz ya know, Adam was the first man in the bible and stuff

    Seeing the ending shot with Belos still keeping the Mr. Frog stone after all these centuries. Makes you wonder if there was ever a time that for a brief moment, he wishes he could go back to that time, when everything was simpler.
    It reminds me of Avatar in the episode where Aang sees Roku’s past with Sozin, and Sozin’s testament first mentions a time when things were not so twisted.
    Both Sozin and Belos have done terrible things, but there was a time that each of them were still good people, and it makes you wonder if they’ve ever looked back and wished they could return to that happy time.
    Love the first episode, it makes you see Phillip as a human but also subtly hints at what he will become. Looking forward to the next one!

    • @MagpieInGravesfield
      @MagpieInGravesfield  4 месяца назад +48

      I think part of the reason he continued with his plan is because he felt like he backed himself into a corner where if he didn’t do it, Caleb’s death would have been for nothing in his eyes. He had no home left, no family and had to live with the fact he killed his brother, so he convinced himself at least it was for a higher cause.
      But I think if he could press a button and into it all, and Caleb being alive, he would absolutely do it.
      The Grimwalkers and Caleb’s ghosts were confirmed hallucinations, there are a lot of subtle hints in the show that he’s eaten by regret but he’s still pushing himself to continue, I think a lot of what we see him be like in the show is a mask

      But that doesn't take away he still believes witches are evil and he stands by what he does. Although perhaps he wishes with Caleb alive he could've gone down a different path, but that's too late now.

    Don’t think it’s getting enough attention, but Philip’s intellect! Not only writing down all sorts of mathematical equations in his little book, but also reasoning them out and pondering their concepts! Not to mention reading books that lead him to see 10 x 100 was 1000!
    Definitely love this little detail, because it not only shows he was a brilliant mind from the start, but also a precursor to the insane mathematical genius it took for him to build that portal and actually get it to function properly! Honestly, could possibly say he even went into the theory of relativity a bit with the portal, which can be correlated to a wormhole and the whole bending of space-time. 👀

    @fyrebirdarts7634 4 месяца назад +38

    Props to Magpie! We never got to see Phillip/Belos' backstory in the official show, but THIS...THIS IS PHENOMENAL. The animation is so similar to the show- spot on, in fact- and the writing...
    I'd always thought of Belos as an irredeemable bigot of a villain (and he ABSOLUTELY still is), but this shows another side of him. He started off as a lovable, innocent boy slowly broken down by years of hurt as he was raised to adulthood in a society that punished anyone who deviated from the norm. Eventually, these toxic teachings became so ingrained in his heart that he went on to shape a dysfunctional society in the image of the one that he had grown up in.
    My favorite detail in this animation is how when Phillip became Belos, he kept the stone Mr. Frog. It could be a reminder of his brother, but I think it's more likely that it's a reminder of the false belief he has that "those who are different will inevitably be punished for it", adding a bit of continuity to his arc and giving commentary on real-world issues. Villains like Belos are a warning to all of us who are watching. Because when we hurt others for being different than we are and teach others to do the same, we perpetuate the same cycle of hate and abuse exemplified in Phil/Belos' story.
    And even though he's a fictional character, I wish I could tell little Phillip he was fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of a forgiving, loving God, a being who is nothing like the one the people of his town follow. One that doesn't punish people for being different, because He made so many people with different personalities and passions and yes, different dominant hands. I wish I could tell Phil he was loved for who he is. I wish I could take him away from that place and help him heal and grow into the person he was meant to be, instead of taking the dark path he did.
    And for the person reading this, I don't know if you believe in a God, but I hope you know that you are, and always have been, loved. Pass that message on, so we can make our world, and our stories, filled with far less horror and tragedy than Belos'.
    gosh that was long...and sappy, towards the end... but I had to get that off my chest. Cheers!

      It actually makes me really happy to see someone who believes in God appreciate this ! I’m in the “I think there is something up there but I don’t know what” category so I don’t think I’d consider myself religious, but I was kinda worried that maybe people would misinterpret the story as religion as a whole being bad, but the message is more than people are the ones using it to do bad things (like how left handed people used to and still are being punished).
      I think religion should only be used to bring people love/comfort and I’m really happy you got that message !
      I also have pretty similar views on Philip, so I’m glad you enjoyed this :D

    • @MagpieInGravesfield
      @MagpieInGravesfield  4 месяца назад +6

      Thank you !! :D
      There’s an easy trick for that ! You place the drawing on a layer underneath so you can animate the hand going exactly over the line. Then you go backwards when you erase.
      That way the line isn’t wobbly (if you draw but by bit it won’t look as smooth).
      I started with the last frame on the frog layer, then erased frame by frame backwards using the already finished hand animation as a guide :)

    The wait for this animation was absolutely worth it. The animation, voice acting, and music was absolutely perfect. I love all the detials of Philip's past and the additions that has been made to his backstory; like how it seems like Philip would repeat the cycle of abusive uncles in the Wittebane family (Philip would be abusive to Hunter, who he called his "Nephew").
    Based on the uncle's happy reaction while looking at the Wittebane house in the 5th drawing, I'm guessing the reason the uncle had them killed was because he wanted their property.
    Maybe, like Philip, he was the younger sibling and thus didn't get a lot of his parent's inhertence.
    I also like the detail of Philip's nose looking like his father's and Caleb/Hunter's nose being more similar to his uncle's.
    Belos is by far my favorite character in The Owl House (if one couldn't already tell from my profile picture) and I remember his design is what convinced me to watch The Owl House in the first place back in 2020 after Season 1 had finished. I remember being sad that we didn't get to see much of his story directly in the main show. But considering that you're mini-series is going almost exclusevely focus on Belos, I am so happy that we'll be able to get more detail on his backstory than we ever could have possibly gotten from the main show. Thank you so much for making this.

    • @MagpieInGravesfield
      @MagpieInGravesfield  4 месяца назад +3

  • @FreakxWannaxBe
    @FreakxWannaxBe 4 месяца назад +18

    Ouh, the detail of Philip using drawing to process the trauma he went through, something that is incredibly common for young children to do.
    If I got this right, the Wittebane parents were rich and prosperous, doing well for themselves and providing for Caleb and Philip, but their uncle in his greed accused them of witchcraft. Thus, when they were hanged for their "crimes", he inherited their land and money. Probably got guardianship over the two children, and put them immediately to work and probably treated them cruelly.
    Very ironic that with this scenario, later on Philip would become the monsterous uncle to Hunter, just as his own was to him.

    @chaerii 3 месяца назад +5

    Haven't seen anyone point this out yet, maybe because it's a no-brainer, but still- young Phillip reminds me SO much of The Collector, even though this isn't canon. There are so many signs as to why Belos did the things he did, and when you break it down, I think this representation is an awesome way to show all of the toxic traits he inherited from a young age.. that also happen to align a lot with The Collector's. I could break down every point but I think you can assume a few; neglecting guardians, very talkative and easily persuaded, struggles with the concept of death, not fitting in, wanting everyone else to stay in line under their control- and mostly the general need for control and power. Obviously, The Collector gets a redemption arc, which leads me to wonder if Phillip could've too, and how it would've played out.

    God such a good characterization of Phillip. The denial of death/loss, his first reaction being "but it's not my fault though/must have been an accident". Even though in this scenario it really is not his fault and he's just a child... this behavior model followed him to his adulthood and this whole situation kinda reminds me of... another death Philipp will have to witness and deny.

  • @soccer4207

    I love this. The way I interpret this, this is also how Philip learned the wrong lesson about death. Instead of learning that living beings die and to let go/remember the joy they gave you, Philip learned that he can just pretend that living being is alive by making a hollow copy of the original. Obviously, that is relevant when it comes to the grim walkers he would make.

    • @MagpieInGravesfield
