Has Anyone Else Noticed That Belos Wants Eda Petrified Right Away In Jail But Specifically Wanted Luz

Has anyone else noticed that Belos wants Eda petrified right away in jail but specifically wanted Luz to be sent to the castle? Belos could have ordered Luz to be killed but instead he ordered to sent her to the castle also keep in mind that when Raine also requested to be informed if Eda had been caught before doing anything but they don't mention Luz, Raine knew that Eda was in the warehouse, but they didn't knew that Luz was with her and Raine only knew that Luz and King are Eda's children but they didn't know who Luz is and they didn't know that Luz is human and when Darius pulls Luz out of the carriage that was going to take her to the emperor's castle, Raine tells Luz that Eda told them about her so Raine only knew about Luz when Eda told them about her after everyone rescued Luz so the order to bring Luz to the castle was given by Belos.

We know that Belos also wants Hunter because he wants to kill him to create another grimwalker but why would he want Luz? Well, we know that she has already completed the time loop and knows about his past and could have ordered the scouts to kill her apart or petrify her with Eda, but he didn't. We also know that he has a small fixation on her because she is human.

All of this makes my concern for Luz greater than before.

Has anyone else figured out that Odalia believing that helping Belos by giving him abomatons would reward her with prestige and be safe is pretty similar to what Belos did with Lilith and Hunter and what he's doing with Kikimora and (possibly) the Collector?

Belos makes others think that he loves them, that they're special or that they have greater privilege than others as long as they help him with his goals:

- He made Hunter believe that he is special for being his nephew and for having the rank of Golden Guard, so Hunter will always seek to please his uncle and help him in everything he can because Hunter feels that he owes it to him for giving him a future by not having anyone and not being able to do magic naturally.

- He led Lilith to believe that she was talented and intelligent, causing Lilith to desperately seek his approval because she felt ignored by her own family and always felt inferior to her sister Eda and Belos is the first person to recognizing her efforts value as a powerful and important witch.

- He makes Kikimora believe that the more loyal she's to him, the more she will be respected and receive more approval and privileges because Kikimora feels that Belos is the first person who truly respects her.

- Possibly he is making the Collector believe that being his friend he will not lie him or betray him like the rest, making the Collector, despite his doubts for having seen Belos manipulate, control and betray others for years, continue trying to convince himself that Belos will not betray him as he has done with everyone because they're friends and their friendship makes him special to Belos unlike the others.

- And now Belos indirectly makes Odalia believe that if she helps him by giving him abomatons, she and her family will be saved and and they will be rewarded with prestige (like Odalia said “being treated like royalty”) because Odalia believe that if she and her family are loyal to Belos, the most powerful person in the Boiling Islands, they will be rewarded with greatness and prestige and they will also be able to have the security of being able to live comfortably without worrying that they might disappear like the others.

All this shows how really manipulative and dangerous Belos is.

Gus and Jinx: A Story of Two Prodigies

If there is something that I could notice is that thanks to Labyrinth Runners I noticed that Gus has some similarities with Jinx from Arcane.

They are both considered prodigies despite how young they’re (Gus is a prodigy with illusion magic and Jinx is a talented inventor and mechanic).

They both have so many insecurities about themselves that they even doubt the perception of their reality and their ability to trust others, believing that people will betray them at the slightest opportunity.

However, Gus has positive and healthy support from his friends who value him for who he is and genuinely care about him and don't want to take advantage of him

while Jinx never had a healthy support system so her paranoia doesn't stop to grow and ends up harming herself

and those around her.

It's pretty scary and sad to think that Gus could have ended up as Jinx if he hadn't had friends who really appreciate him for who he is regardless of his talent.

Lamb (the reader) and Paint it Black aesthetic board/moodboard

This is based on a series of Yandere Giorno stories written by @yourfaveisyanderematic . The first part is called The Worms Turn and the second part is called The Cornered Mouse. They are good stories that I recommend reading if you like this type of content.

A little comparison between Arkos and Huntlow

Despite the fact that Arkos is a romantic relationship and Huntlow can end in various ways (as a romantic couple, platonic or just as besties) I like both relationships a lot and both have something in common: both relationships are based on knowing each other not because of their background, but because they know each other for who they really are and in both relationships they respect the choice and autonomy of both members of both relationships.

In both relationships they are made up of the prodigies:

and the underrateds:

Both Hunter and Pyrrha share the theme of their fight against destiny, (even though they both want agency and to be seen as their own person for different reasons the desire remains the same).

On the other hand, Jaune and Willow are underestimated and they're teased for it to the point that they both doubt their own potential (Jaune for his lack of semblance and Willow for not being good with abomination magic).

Jaune and Willow have no idea about Hunter and Pyrrha's background (Hunter is the Golden Guard and Pyrrha is a recognized huntress prodigy) so they treat Hunter and Pyrrha like normal people and they value that so much that they treat Jaune and Willow in return with respect and recognize their potential (Pyrrha teachs Jaune about aura, she helps him unlock it as well as recognize his masive aura, courage and leadership potential and Hunter sees Willow as a powerful and brave witch and an excellent leader).

So much so that when they discover how Jaune and Willow see themselves (Jaune sees himself as a fraud for cheating to get into Beacon and Willow calling herself a half-witch), Hunter and Pyrrha is shocked by this but still their visions of Jaune and Willow don't change and they become more closer to them.

Hunter and Pyrrha are able to be seen and recognized as their own person outside of their roles and Jaune and Willow are valued as self-sufficient people with great potential that can unlock.
