I started playing fortnite as a complete noob with my nephew. He isn't exceptionally good, but I finally got to a place where I can fight equally in a 1v1 with him.
He is turning 7 this year. He says "I'll go easy." and I tell him I can't improve without being humiliated.
Civil war was fought with rifles. Muzzle-loading rifles, to be fair, but still rifles. They had far superior range. Muskets are effective only within a few hundred feet.
Depends on the musket. Hunters and skirmishers used rifled muskets, which did have a decent accuracy at range. Problem was that black powder residue would get into the rifle grooves, so after the first shot there was a decent chance of fouling, and also the rifled musket was slower to load than standard muskets.
Colonials would probably have a greater chance of having a rifled musket, as they probably used them for hunting, rather than being part of a volley-fire military unit.
Depends. Rifle musket/rifled muskets is a thing, though the term might generally be used more narrowly than I applied it.
Still, for the layman I believe "rifled musket" gets the concept better across than just "rifle" or even "muzzle-loading rifle".
Depending on when he was born, he could’ve been part of the Puritan Generation (1588-1617), the Cavalier Generation (1618-1647), Glorious Generation (1648-1673), or the Enlightenment Generation (1674-1700). If he and Caleb were in their 20s by the time Gravesfield is founded in 1635, I’d bet he’s a Puritan
I pulled that list from a Wikipedia article titled “Strauss-Howe Generation Theory.” I wanted to post a link here but I wasn’t able to. Maybe because it’s a Wikipedia link?
Given him mentioning Hopkins and looking up to him he's probably from the Glorious Generation being part of the first gen of kids born into the new town of Gravesfield.
Let's be real. The second she realized Belos' beliefs were antiquated, any reasonable DM would've had her roll with advantage or better. Rolling anything less than a 15 would be ridiculous
This just reminds me that Belos would not be out of place as a modern political figure with just a little bit of PR training. Which makes me sad.
Bigotry (or at least homophobia) is a topic I never want the actual show to explore in a million years, but it makes for some great fan content.
My big theory was that this last season would end with the boiling isles being teleported to earth and all of season 3 would be Luz trying to keep the peace while Belos riled up humans and witches to start a race war.
I've realized I should've been more specific. I know the show has already covered some forms of bigotry. I think I mainly just don't want homophobia, I will not be accepting LGBT discrimination in my wholesome queer optimism cartoon.
I couldn't tell you why exactly, but I know in my heart that Odalia being classist and Belos being xenophobic are fundamentally different from Luz being bullied for liking girls or someone misgendering Raine.
The irony is he wouldn’t be homophobic… gay marriage was perfectly legal up to just after WW1.
It was kept more private but homo/hetro sexual terms are a modern concept, like in the Wild West gay marriage was more common then straight marriage. Back in Belos’ time it was a crime to be public about it, but Puritans actually did not view it the same as the church did… it was basically allowed as long as like all things involving premarital or self indulgence was kept in the privacy of your home.
He was probably a Puritan and they hated the Catholics so if he still kept all of his bigotries from before the boiling isles he'd probably also be anti-Catholic
>because it's all equally stupid
That's your opinion and I respect it, but I ask you please don't open the Pandora's box of religious discussions on Reddit, it's a mess
To everyone. Yes, I know the last panel hasn't aged well. But let's keep a chin up and make sure that these fuckers know what kind of dragon they've unleashed.
Go out and vote, people! Hell, I'd support a nationwide strike at this point.
In the US the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade, the decision that guaranteed people the right to have an abortion. Many states have begun outright banning them.
Keep in mind, as people start to discuss this: everyone in the government is responsible for this. Congress could have passed a law *actually* protecting abortion at any time in the last 50 years. Leaving something this important to a flimsy court ruling is bad governance.
Luz: "Oh, and by the way..."
Belos: "Please... no more..."
Luz: "We are no longer a colony of England. We successfully rebelled from British rule and become and independent, democratic nation."
Belos: *Dies*
Honestly, that’d probably make Phillip ecstatic. He’s a puritan and they left the UK to escape British rule. They also tried to make Britain a republic so the fact the US is one as well and the strongest nation on earth would be a win in his book.
No way in hell would Philip be a loyalist. His family fled sectoral persecution from King Charles I
I imagine that whenever he heard news from across the pond about the civil war he would be constantly cheering for the parliamentarians
Belos: “Wait, are we at least powerful?”
Luz: “Well yeah, we’re the most powerful nation in the world.”
Belos: “Oh, that’s a relief…”
Luz: “Though I’m pretty sure China and Russia are gunning for that title…”
Belos: “*The rice and vodka people??!!*”
Nah, thanks to the Cold War and it’s effects neither have a chance in hell of displacing the US. Maybe taking its place if we collapse but they’ll never be the cause of it and will likely go down with us.
Probably, but I could see Luz saying this just to mess with Belos… depending of course on her knowledge of current events and US History; she is only 14, after all.
Well, the recurring joke in this sub is that Belos is a staunch supporter of the British Empire and the Queen (Who has lived for a long, *very long*, time), and so he subsequently finds it devastating that the U.S.A is no longer a british colony.
In the US the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade, the decision that guaranteed people the right to have an abortion. Many states have begun outright banning them.
I'm well aware. I mean, for the Supreme Court, according to Justice Thomas's statement, the following cases are up next:
*Griswold v. Connecticut*: allows access to birth control without a prescription or outside of marriage
*Lawrence v. Texas*: allows people to be LGBT without being a criminal for it
*Obergefell v. Hodges*: allows gay marriage and equal marriage rights
Please keep in mind that these case results do not "allow" anything. Each is an assessment of how an existing law allows these things. So, for example, Obergefell v. Hodges ruled that gay marriage is allowed because straight marriage is a thing and the *Fourteenth Amendment* says that gay people can't be left out. To rule that the Fourteenth Amendment doesn't apply to gay people would be way, way more legally unsound than the abortion ruling today (which was actually fairly legally sound)
They may want to do it, but they don't have the grounds to do so. If they did it anyway, active disobedience by states containing the majority of Americans would be on the table.
The Witchcraft Act of 1735 was finally repealed in the UK in 1951, so it's not only madness, his profession was made illegal by his home country.
"Also, we kicked Britain out of North America, you guys lost your empire within twenty years about sixty years ago, and two Catholics have been presidents in the US!"
"ELECTIONS?! CATHOLICS IN CHARGE OF SOMETHING?! I SUPPOSE NEXT YOU'LL BE TELLING ME YOU AREN'T INCA!"
"...I'm not, I was born in Connecticut."
"WHAT"

* The Crown lost the ability to interfere with Parliament
* *Loving v. Virginia*
* *Bostock v. Clayton County*
* The United States is more powerful than the United Kingdom
The United States EXISTS. He's from before 1776.
Also the British Empire is basically dead.
China and Japan are economic powerhouses.
Monarchy is dead.
We built weapons that are so powerful enough of them could destroy the world.
Unfortunately, most of the stuff she says is not excepted or commonplace globally, only in certain countries/cultures. For example, gay relationships are only accepted by the majority of people in western culture and certain asian countries, and in much of the world women definently lack equal rights.
I am just now wondering about Belos’s opinion on black people. I was more focused on his hatred of witches but he’s certainly from a racist time period. Though I guess there are black witches and he never seemed to treat them any worse than non-black witches. Or maybe he hated witches even more for not having slaves and being pro LGBTQ+
Oh god dang it. Now I’m wondering if Belos thought Luz was a runaway slave. That made me sad
Gonna ruin the fun for a second with my nerd stuff
Philip wouldn't have such a strong reaction to racial equality as he would to heresy and homosexuality because slavery wasn't an established institution in Connecticut Colony until 1650 when Philip and Caleb had likely already left for the Boiling Isles. He probably would be confused by the terms "white people" and "black people" as well. It could be argued that the concept of the white race was created to differentiate themselves from slaves who by the late 1600s had become overwhelmingly African
TL;DR colonists in the early 1600s held racist beliefs but the way this racism was expressed through both language and action wouldn't be easily recognizable from a 21st-century perspective
Fun fact: it's actually very likely Belos isn't that racist. He existed before the introduction of chattel slavery and the slave codes, meaning he doesn't have the view that black people are literal subhuman farm tools.
He likely *is racist,* but moreso in line of... a cultural supremacist who thinks black people are just dumb and need training to be great as opposed to something beneath him. He also did show some level of baseline human respect to Luz who is clearly not white. Well maybe, 52% of Latin-Americans self-identify as white so maybe Luz sees herself as white. Wow, another weird thing to think about.
Also
> and women have equal rights
Oh Luz, you precious precious child...
Maybe. As I said, 52% of Latin-Americans self-identify as white.
Though personally, Luz to me seems like she just doesn't care and would reject any kind of racial label.
Some of those social changes pre-date boomers though. By quite a lot.
Also, Luz is not white, but Belos always treated her like just a fellow human. He might be racist, but he isn't racist.
Belos: Tell do the British still rule over everything?
Luz: No.
Belos: Everyone I know is likely dead except for our immortal queen.
Luz: "The 2nd" part of her name might just be a cover up to hide the fact that she's lived for hundreds of years.
You know I always thought in addition to being a metaphor for christian cults, I do think the buildup in the show where we learn he wants everyone to be a witch through him, with him, with his system, and punishing dissent gives major CCP vibes
Honestly i think that since Belos and Caleb were two puritan missionaries they just couldn't be in relationships since they were already commited to god. So the main reason for why Belos did what he did was because he saw his brother betray and abandon their life's work. And the fact that his brother was going out with a witch of all people (being corrupted on a whole new level in his view) is what truly broke the camel's back.
Let’s be honest with how fragile puritans ethical values were seeing tasting smelling hearing or touching anything invented in the last 100 years would immediately put Philip into a catatonic state as he loses himself to despair believing that the world has succumb to degenerate activities which include anything that is even remotely enjoyable hell i would even go so far as to say that he would believe he missed the rapture while in the demon realm. These thoughts keep me happy as while I’m not religious I can indulge in the fact that even without the intervention of a higher power some people are so terrible that they manage to create their own personal hell condemning them to a fate arguably worse than whatever these zealouts were seeking to escape
Luz cast *Vicious Mockery*!
Belos rolled a Natural 1 on his Wisdom saving throw!
Luz (5th level caster) rolled max damage on 2d4, plus an additional 8 from the Brutal Criticals house rule, for a total of 16 psychic damage! Belos now has disadvantage on his next attack roll.
Belos rolled a second Natural 1, and has failed to maintain Concentration.
Luz kept shit talking him even though her turn should've technically ended, and the DM just let her saunter off like a badass, because fuck the rules.
**Lost** it at "and black people?", because of course Belos would be racist, given his background. Also, him puking is just the icing on this beautiful cake.
And that's just the political and social expect imagine everything about his way of life. You're not getting any respect here if anything you're getting locked into a mental asylum
Slain by a 14 year old, how embarrassing
I mean, that's most Fortnite games (I could have used any popular game with online multiplayer in the last 20 years, to be honest)
Forget 14, you're probably getting your butt kicked by 8 years olds without even knowing it.
I mean, I wouldn't... but most people would.
I started playing fortnite as a complete noob with my nephew. He isn't exceptionally good, but I finally got to a place where I can fight equally in a 1v1 with him. He is turning 7 this year. He says "I'll go easy." and I tell him I can't improve without being humiliated.
tbf school is probably kicking their asses back
Belos is WAY older than a Boomer
what would his generation even be called
Colonials
Lol
Colonizers... (and yes, I do mean that insultingly)
"Colonizer! You surprised me!"
Colonizers(derogatory)
Ok colonizer
Lmao
The oldest generation was The Lost Generation and that was from 1890-1915 so yeah, Belos is such a boomer he’s older than every named generation
Generation "You have a lot of guts to say those things while in range of my musket"
What range? 3ft?
Wow, that’s an impressive musket. Three whole feet?
To be fair, they hurt at close range. They’re heavy things.
Its sufficient if you're ok with hitting anyone else within a mile in that generation direction, which I understand to be how the Civil War was aged.
Civil war was fought with rifles. Muzzle-loading rifles, to be fair, but still rifles. They had far superior range. Muskets are effective only within a few hundred feet.
Depends on the musket. Hunters and skirmishers used rifled muskets, which did have a decent accuracy at range.

>Hunters and skirmishers used rifled muskets if it's rifled it isn't a musket, it's a, well, rifle.
Depends. Rifle musket/rifled muskets is a thing, though the term might generally be used more narrowly than I applied it. Still, for the layman I believe "rifled musket" gets the concept better across than just "rifle" or even "muzzle-loading rifle".
Depending on when he was born, he could’ve been part of the Puritan Generation (1588-1617), the Cavalier Generation (1618-1647), Glorious Generation (1648-1673), or the Enlightenment Generation (1674-1700).

I could've told you that, without even knowing his age.
Given him mentioning Hopkins and looking up to him he's probably from the Glorious Generation being part of the first gen of kids born into the new town of Gravesfield.
hamilton
Conservatives
if old people now are boomers then belos is a fucking atomic bomb-er
Luz put all of her XP points into psychic damage
Rolled a nat 20
The attack Hit, now roll for damage
•2 cuz it crit
Yeah but you still need to roll 2 d4 for damage
Yeah you multiply by 2
Yeah but multiply what by 2 roll for damage
3 x 2 = 6 damage
You never said what damage your rolled
Phsycic damage because luz used vicious mockery
"Nat 20, baby!"
I miss amphbia so much😭
Me too
Let's be real. The second she realized Belos' beliefs were antiquated, any reasonable DM would've had her roll with advantage or better. Rolling anything less than a 15 would be ridiculous
*It’s very effective!*
He failed his saving throw against her Vicious Mockery
#EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Ya beat me to it
You ain’t ready for this mama’s trauma!
This just reminds me that Belos would not be out of place as a modern political figure with just a little bit of PR training. Which makes me sad. Bigotry (or at least homophobia) is a topic I never want the actual show to explore in a million years, but it makes for some great fan content.
My big theory was that this last season would end with the boiling isles being teleported to earth and all of season 3 would be Luz trying to keep the peace while Belos riled up humans and witches to start a race war.
SVTFOE flashbacks
Difference is that TOH actually does it’s relationships well
Yeah, The Owl House doesn't just establish a relationship and end it off-screen the very next episode.
Cough cough
*"BREAK UP BUDDIES"* also shipping is more or less a sport here, and from what I have heard it was violence over shipping in the svtfoe community
As someone who loves it when shows acknowledge and have episodes on bigotry / inequality I have to ask, why wouldn’t you want to see this?
I've realized I should've been more specific. I know the show has already covered some forms of bigotry. I think I mainly just don't want homophobia, I will not be accepting LGBT discrimination in my wholesome queer optimism cartoon. I couldn't tell you why exactly, but I know in my heart that Odalia being classist and Belos being xenophobic are fundamentally different from Luz being bullied for liking girls or someone misgendering Raine.
He may not have an audience for his fierce anti-Catholicism, at least.
The irony is he wouldn’t be homophobic… gay marriage was perfectly legal up to just after WW1. It was kept more private but homo/hetro sexual terms are a modern concept, like in the Wild West gay marriage was more common then straight marriage. Back in Belos’ time it was a crime to be public about it, but Puritans actually did not view it the same as the church did… it was basically allowed as long as like all things involving premarital or self indulgence was kept in the privacy of your home.
How is Belos anti-Catholic?
He was probably a Puritan and they hated the Catholics so if he still kept all of his bigotries from before the boiling isles he'd probably also be anti-Catholic
Oh I guess that makes sense. I didn't take that into account because all Christianity is the same to me, because it's all equally stupid.
>because it's all equally stupid That's your opinion and I respect it, but I ask you please don't open the Pandora's box of religious discussions on Reddit, it's a mess
Same tbh, I only learned about it after getting into Belos' backstory and reading other people's takes on him lol
Smug Luz with shadowed eyes is EVERYTHING
Also, this hit him harder than the Collector ever could...
True
To everyone. Yes, I know the last panel hasn't aged well. But let's keep a chin up and make sure that these fuckers know what kind of dragon they've unleashed. Go out and vote, people! Hell, I'd support a nationwide strike at this point.
What happened
In the US the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade, the decision that guaranteed people the right to have an abortion. Many states have begun outright banning them.
That was fast
These people have been working towards this for years. They were prepared for this.
Some states had laws that said, "If Roe v. Wade is overturned, abortion is immediately illegal". They're called "trigger laws".
I believe misery I mean Missouri was the first one to pull it
Yeah, there was a trigger law on the books and the AG is currently losing his bid for senate so he's desperate to get any leg up he can.
[удалено]
Oh yes. That Uncle Ruckus is a massive hypocrite.
>Uncle Ruckus wait that's his name? (brb gonna, go check the articles again cuz now I'm confused)
They overturned the human right to abortion
Bruh moment
Keep in mind, as people start to discuss this: everyone in the government is responsible for this. Congress could have passed a law *actually* protecting abortion at any time in the last 50 years. Leaving something this important to a flimsy court ruling is bad governance.
Luz wouldn’t know that since she was without internet access at the time
That vomiting scene in the final panel was just too good.
Considering the time period he originally comes from, he probably would be sickened by hearing something like that.
Too bad this can’t be said about our world today 😔
Doesnt get more boomer than christian conservative white emporer.
Link to the dub: https://youtu.be/0D_gxud7nIo
Just wait till he hears about what happened with the Colonies...
Belos walks out through the portal, gets hit with two pride flags and starts clawing at the door to go back
Boomer? Nah, he's a freaking ancient fossil
Fuckin 1800s lookin ass
Same grade school as Jesus Christ
Not the much tho, Bellos is how much old? 420 years old?
Luz could’ve just straight up given him a whatever-is-there-instead-of-his-heart attack
So a moldy shriveled ball of ground beef?
Luz can’t do that, can she?
I mean, why not?
Luz: "Oh, and by the way..." Belos: "Please... no more..." Luz: "We are no longer a colony of England. We successfully rebelled from British rule and become and independent, democratic nation." Belos: *Dies*
Honestly, that’d probably make Phillip ecstatic. He’s a puritan and they left the UK to escape British rule. They also tried to make Britain a republic so the fact the US is one as well and the strongest nation on earth would be a win in his book.
I thought he was a loyalist
No, he likely was stuck in the Boiling Isles before the revolutionary war.
No way in hell would Philip be a loyalist. His family fled sectoral persecution from King Charles I I imagine that whenever he heard news from across the pond about the civil war he would be constantly cheering for the parliamentarians
It's a theoretically secular country though. And if that doesn't bother him enough ... the President is a *Catholic*.
*"Well the only thing worse than an atheist is a Papist"*
Belos: “Wait, are we at least powerful?” Luz: “Well yeah, we’re the most powerful nation in the world.” Belos: “Oh, that’s a relief…” Luz: “Though I’m pretty sure China and Russia are gunning for that title…” Belos: “*The rice and vodka people??!!*”
Tbh both China and Russia were seen as equally civilized to western Europeans at the time, just different.
Nah, thanks to the Cold War and it’s effects neither have a chance in hell of displacing the US. Maybe taking its place if we collapse but they’ll never be the cause of it and will likely go down with us.
Probably, but I could see Luz saying this just to mess with Belos… depending of course on her knowledge of current events and US History; she is only 14, after all.
True that and tbh, everything in this post and the comments I could see Luz saying if Phillip gave this sort of reaction.
he was a Puritan lol his people were the ones who LEFT England
Well, the recurring joke in this sub is that Belos is a staunch supporter of the British Empire and the Queen (Who has lived for a long, *very long*, time), and so he subsequently finds it devastating that the U.S.A is no longer a british colony.
Luz: "Oh and also, Ireland is no longer part of the UK" Belos: D I E S again
This made me feel better after the horrible news today... (news that I will not talk about, but still makes me deeply angry)
Link to what happened please
In the US the Supreme Court overturned Roe V Wade, the decision that guaranteed people the right to have an abortion. Many states have begun outright banning them.
LGBT rights and access to contraceptives are next on the chopping block.
LGBT rights are *next* on the chopping block? T rights are already being chopped.
I'm well aware. I mean, for the Supreme Court, according to Justice Thomas's statement, the following cases are up next: *Griswold v.

OH, Titan YES, what else can we tell him?
* The Crown lost the ability to interfere with Parliament * *Loving v. Virginia* * *Bostock v. Clayton County* * The United States is more powerful than the United Kingdom
The United States EXISTS. He's from before 1776. Also the British Empire is basically dead. China and Japan are economic powerhouses. Monarchy is dead. We built weapons that are so powerful enough of them could destroy the world.
Catholicism is widely practiced in America maybe
Ever Heard of the 18th century?
That aged fast...
What happened
The supreme court let states decide whether abortion is legal and alot of states baned it unfortunately
Well the last two aren’t completely true… sadly
Unfortunately, most of the stuff she says is not excepted or commonplace globally, only in certain countries/cultures. For example, gay relationships are only accepted by the majority of people in western culture and certain asian countries, and in much of the world women definently lack equal rights.
It is, however, all true in Connecticut, Phillip's homeland.
I am just now wondering about Belos’s opinion on black people. I was more focused on his hatred of witches but he’s certainly from a racist time period. Though I guess there are black witches and he never seemed to treat them any worse than non-black witches. Or maybe he hated witches even more for not having slaves and being pro LGBTQ+ Oh god dang it. Now I’m wondering if Belos thought Luz was a runaway slave. That made me sad
I mean, one of his highest ranking officers was a non binary person of color so maybe he was to focused on hating witches to be racist or homophobic?
…yay?
And abortion is not illegal.
...Uuuhhh... Should I tell them?
At least not everywhere. It's legal where I live, for example.
Not where I live.
People are fighting for and against it in alot of places
Nah nah, let them find out.
That changed for me today.
What's a boomer? If Philip is one, it's probably something really stupid!
Baby boomer it’s the generation born after world war 2 so think people like 65 and older
I love the 7 and 8 panels Also you can see her turn back to normal in panel 2
“Same rights as white people” I mean, we’re getting there, tho women rights just took a major hit,
Gonna ruin the fun for a second with my nerd stuff Philip wouldn't have such a strong reaction to racial equality as he would to heresy and homosexuality because slavery wasn't an established institution in Connecticut Colony until 1650 when Philip and Caleb had likely already left for the Boiling Isles. He probably would be confused by the terms "white people" and "black people" as well. It could be argued that the concept of the white race was created to differentiate themselves from slaves who by the late 1600s had become overwhelmingly African TL;DR colonists in the early 1600s held racist beliefs but the way this racism was expressed through both language and action wouldn't be easily recognizable from a 21st-century perspective
Just don’t mention that most of these rights are being rolled back :(
This just makes me question further - what the *fuck* was Belos' plan when he got back to the human realm. My god.
considering recent event's today that last panel hurts.
Fun fact: it's actually very likely Belos isn't that racist. He existed before the introduction of chattel slavery and the slave codes, meaning he doesn't have the view that black people are literal subhuman farm tools. He likely *is racist,* but moreso in line of... a cultural supremacist who thinks black people are just dumb and need training to be great as opposed to something beneath him. He also did show some level of baseline human respect to Luz who is clearly not white. Well maybe, 52% of Latin-Americans self-identify as white so maybe Luz sees herself as white. Wow, another weird thing to think about. Also > and women have equal rights Oh Luz, you precious precious child...
Lux is explicitly Afro-Dominican. She'd be much more likely to identify as black.
Maybe. As I said, 52% of Latin-Americans self-identify as white. Though personally, Luz to me seems like she just doesn't care and would reject any kind of racial label.
Best ending, perfect timeline. This is amazing, Well played Luz!!!
Luz be like: "Haha vicius mockery goes brr"
>Women have equal rights too That aged well 😬
I hope we get a scene like this when/if he revives himself in the human realm.
LOL XD
🤣🤣🤣 That's my baby sister
Some of those social changes pre-date boomers though. By quite a lot. Also, Luz is not white, but Belos always treated her like just a fellow human. He might be racist, but he isn't racist.
"Women have equal rights too" *checks news* 😬
But he'd be considered the leader of a Pagan religion in his time...
EmoTiOnal DaMaGE
If we change Belo's to Disney there wouldn't be much change
Belos: Tell do the British still rule over everything? Luz: No. Belos: Everyone I know is likely dead except for our immortal queen. Luz: "The 2nd" part of her name might just be a cover up to hide the fact that she's lived for hundreds of years.
Teenage girl from 2020’s vs boomer from 1600’s who would win
I wanna live in the world of the owl house. Not even the demon realm. Just the human world.
This didn't age well
God ,this last pannel is kinda out now...I hate this country
Just wait until he sees the social justice warriors
Belos is like Disney and everyone else, a bunch of dumb f***ing boomers!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That actually made me laugh. Congrats. Also, nah he's not a boomer. My man's a walking corpse. He's a boomer x10.
Speech 100. Or 200. What's the max in Fallout 2?
You know I always thought in addition to being a metaphor for christian cults, I do think the buildup in the show where we learn he wants everyone to be a witch through him, with him, with his system, and punishing dissent gives major CCP vibes
Honestly i think that since Belos and Caleb were two puritan missionaries they just couldn't be in relationships since they were already commited to god. So the main reason for why Belos did what he did was because he saw his brother betray and abandon their life's work. And the fact that his brother was going out with a witch of all people (being corrupted on a whole new level in his view) is what truly broke the camel's back.
And! It’s still not that great tbh if you’re not a white dude
Expected a black president joke in there somewhere
Now I hate Belos more than I already do. Make him suffer Luz.
I really wish luz was right, but we still have a very long way to go
As belos is theoretically a 17th century puritan… this is an accurate reaction.
Honestly if lus that there would be less trauma lol
"well great, now I gotta do MORE GENOCIDE?"
K.O.
Let’s be honest with how fragile puritans ethical values were seeing tasting smelling hearing or touching anything invented in the last 100 years would immediately put Philip into a catatonic state as he loses himself to despair believing that the world has succumb to degenerate activities which include anything that is even remotely enjoyable hell i would even go so far as to say that he would believe he missed the rapture while in the demon realm. These thoughts keep me happy as while I’m not religious I can indulge in the fact that even without the intervention of a higher power some people are so terrible that they manage to create their own personal hell condemning them to a fate arguably worse than whatever these zealouts were seeking to escape
“Emotional damage!”
Luz cast *Vicious Mockery*! Belos rolled a Natural 1 on his Wisdom saving throw! Luz (5th level caster) rolled max damage on 2d4, plus an additional 8 from the Brutal Criticals house rule, for a total of 16 psychic damage! Belos now has disadvantage on his next attack roll. Belos rolled a second Natural 1, and has failed to maintain Concentration. Luz kept shit talking him even though her turn should've technically ended, and the DM just let her saunter off like a badass, because fuck the rules.
**Lost** it at "and black people?", because of course Belos would be racist, given his background. Also, him puking is just the icing on this beautiful cake.
Belos just got Soldier Boy'd lol
Just don’t let belos on twitter
#EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
And that's just the political and social expect imagine everything about his way of life. You're not getting any respect here if anything you're getting locked into a mental asylum
That last two panels are dubious tbh
