Tired Dog Named Beetles

Hunter thirty seconds fresh n’ outta the ground

While I do acknowledge that is the more realistic approach, especially with a character like Belos who is from that era, that is viscerally boring to me.

He is definitely a bigot, don’t get me wrong, but we have seen that bigotry aimed only at witches (If this wasn’t a Disney show I’m sure Dana would have went stronger with the imagery, but that isn’t what we got). They say so themselves in the finale, his drive is to simply prove himself the hero in his own fantasy, I personally like to interpret that has him literally being stuck in that childlike mindset of all of it being one big game that he is determined to win.

It’s a little hard to really pin point Belos down since we didn’t get that much in terms of backstory, but that’s part of the charm- the mystery and what little we do know of him gives us the audience a lot of room for how they want to interpret his character.

I haven’t either, but through my personal understanding of him, while I don’t think he held onto a lot of bigotry of Puritan teachings towards other humans, being far too engrossed in his fantasies of being a witch hunter and killing actual witches- I do think he has a lot of issues that he himself struggles with, like his masculinity.

Growing up as an orphan during the 1600’s, it’s safe to say no one besides Caleb gave Belos the space to be himself or be vulnerable and even then, the social norms back then were far more strict than what we have now.

Of course he does!!

Look at how threatened he was of Luz, she was the only other human and was doing way better than him after being in the Isles less than a year! I love the guy, but he is such a loser.

Swerve wishes you all had the best Christmas and other Earth holiday

(Pls ignore that I’m ‘technically’ late, I was busy celebrating)

Bonus variations under the cut~!

If you had told me 5 years ago that I’d be able to draw transformers in pen, I would’ve laughed in your face

Been rereading the Mtmte comics and I forgot how MUCH I love Swerve, what a babe <3
