Keep in mind this is my personal take/head canon. Not everything has been proved in streams, and Phil’s way of presenting lore is loose. In that he says things, and retcons them, and isn’t always in character. I’m mixing his nonchalant approach in with his character.

I’ve been thinking a lot about c!Philza and his.... varied reactions to his children. Now, c!Philza (canonically?) revealed that he only has one life because he traded the others for a longer lifespan. We can reasonably assume that he has lived for several hundred years under this deal, and I don’t know about you, but I assume he has had more children throughout the years than just c!Wilbur, and at the rate he is adopting others, I’m sure it isn’t his first time doing that either. Centuries of life, and he has probably had a little bit of practice before now.

I think he doesn’t see them as children. I think he surrounds himself with young, impressionable minds, to further his power. To create his own small private army that would be loyal enough to fight for him if needed.

I think he may have traded his other two lives for longevity, but that only protects him if someone stronger doesn’t come along to try and snuff out his immortal light. 

So if one of those “children” doesn’t show any promise, he casts them aside, has them fend for themselves. Its why c!Tommy and c!Tubbo are little feral children who can’t be tamed. They were raised without parents, the closest parental figure being c!Wilbur. And being c!Phil’s biological child, (the man shows clear favoritism) he probably would have had a lot more attention put on him to study. And the more he studied, the more c!Phil cultivated those cunning strategist skills of his, a handy talent for an immortal who might find himself on the wrong end of a war, and want his strategist son to help pull the strings in his favor. Unfortunately for him, c!Wilbur went....a little crazy. His biggest disappointment. However, being his biological son, in his own twisted way, c!Philza still cares for him, enough to heed his last request and kill him. 

Now some people have mentioned the resurrection. And proof that c!Philza does care about his son. And yes. He does still care. I’m just saying it might not be the healthy kind of love. If he got c!Wilbur back from the resurrection, he has his master strategist back. Now what about c!Fundy? His biological grandchild, you would think surely, if he “loved” c!Wilbur more than the other adopted children, he should also “love” his biological grandson. But he didn’t raise c!Fundy. c!Fundy wasn’t a mind he got to mold. And if c!Wilbur was a disappointment, why should his child be any better. You could even look deeper into this (as many blame c!Fundy’s initial betrayal on c!Wilbur going full crazy) that c!Philza blames c!Fundy for taking away his master strategist, making him take out a powerful pawn in his little army. (This is honestly just stemming from how they treated Fundy in a stream the other day. I haven’t seen the whole thing yet, but from what I’ve seen they weren’t very nice to him.)

In terms of the others he surrounds himself with, c!Technoblade is the child (old friend) he has currently allied himself with, because guess what? c!Technoblade is a strong soldier. A good little soldier who, yes is a little power crazy, but also has friends in high places. What possible reason did c!Phil have for siding with him and c!Dream to blow up L’Manberg? Because c!Dream is one of the most powerful people on the server, a strong fighter, and a formidable ally, or foe. 

The man surrounds himself with powerful protectors and allies, and avoids making enemies with those that could threaten his power. He’s lived for a very long time, he can do the math. And his most recent addition to the collection? c!Ranboo? Who has special, unheard of powers? Well, better to have him where you can see him, better to have him as a friend than an enemy.

Better to be prepared, and surround yourself with powerful allies, because when you get a taste of power, you never want to let go. 

And it goes a little something like this:

We have now seen wiggly (a green doll), Blinky (purple) and most recently <SPOILER from tonight’s livestream> Tinkie (a yellow doll). These demonic dolls reminded me of something. Teletubbies.

If the next show doesn’t feature a RED demonic plush then I’m going to riot.

Thank you for coming to my
