26 Things You Missed From Hollow Mind | The Owl House 

I’m pretty sure there wasn’t two inner selves in understanding Willow because the anger that Willow felt towards amity is what manifested into something other than Willow’s inner self

As someone whos HAD painic attacks i recconised what was going on with hunter right away its nice to have it show as it is irl and not "AAHAAGSGAGAGG"

“The name “Hunter” isn’t a name at all. It’s a title.” Literally got chills

''OH CRAMITY AMITY'' When Hunter said in the portrait ''Why does Darius looks so sad here?'' We learned that the previous Golden Guard was Darius' Mentor. Which does explains why Darius has such a soft spot for Hunter and felt bad for him that he wanted him to make friends and connections that the other Golden Guards didn't have.

Something I noticed right before it was revealed that they were in Belos' fake mind, was when Luz put her hand to the painting and it didn't go through.

“The Palisman monster is probably not the Palisman souls, but rather Belos’ guilt for killing all those innocent Palisman” I doubt he feels any guilt at all

THANK YOU FOR POINTING OUT THAT ONE PORTRAIT OF PHILIP BEING BY HIMSELF ON THE BOILING ISLES BECAUSE I SAW THAT TOO!! SO IT GOT ME THINKING THAT THE BROTHER GOT "TEMPTED" TO GO WITH THE WITCH BUT PHILIP WAS EITHER TOO YOUNG OR TOO SCARED AT THE TIME TO FOLLOW (because his brother in the portrait with the magic fire hand looks close to Hunter's age currently and Philip has gotta be at least 5-6 younger than his brother, so bro is like 16-18 while Philip is 10-12 at that moment). SO THIS ALSO PLAYS INTO YESTERDAY'S LIE WHEN WE LEARN ABOUT THE BROTHERS AND HOW THEY BOTH DISAPPEARED. Only they didn't disappear together, one brother disappeared first and then the other followed after. During the time when the brother was gone, I think Philip BECAME a witch hunter to get his brother back (because being a witch hunter WAS an occupation in both Europe and in the Colonies). And OH BOY IT WOULD EXPLAIN A LOT OF HOW HE IS SO GOOD AT MANIPULATION AND MIND GAMES. Not only did witch hunters physically torture their victims into (false) confessions, but they also did a WHOLE LOT OF COERCSION/GASLIGHTING and tricking their victims into saying something. So yeah, in Philip's mind he came to the Boiling Isles and he was going to save his brother from the witches and also going to destroy the witches to keep humanity safe and make sure that they never "took" someone's loved one again. BUT THEN... yeah, we see that his brother has rejected his Puritan upbringing and has become open-minded and has also fallen in love with a witch and having a kid with her too. AND WE ALL SAW HOW PHILIP HANDLED THAT POORLY YIKES.

No matter how many times I hear people explain the portraits, it still gives me chills. (P.S: Love how you include the title of the next episodes on these "Things you missed Videos")

Another thing I thought was kinda interesting that I just noticed is hunters palisman is a bird. The clawthorne family all have bird palismen. Philips brother ran away with a mystery witch

I think Philip's brother's wife was the reason why Philip/Belos has this curse and the glyphs on his body is probably him trying to heal the curse I think

Also a cool moment is that Eda reaching out to Hunter is probably a small call back to the portrait where we saw Philp's brother walking towards a witch, their hand extended towards him with fire. Expect this time Hunter's run away.

Kind of odd that Eda said there couldn't be two inner selves when she shares her mindscape with a second being, the Owl Beast. The Palisman amalgam fits a similar role: a seperate mind inside the host mind. An added bonus: Belos says the line "Can't reason with crazy," a line that Luz said during season one. This is one of many elements that point to Belos as an evil inversion of Luz: human strangers to the isle with very different reactions to the magical world, as well as differences in how they interact with people and grow stronger as human witches.

I was right, Belos cut his ears into a pointed shape so he'd look like a witch. I never noticed the picture of him cutting his ears but I had this theory since the episode came out. which also happened to be the day I got into the show. I watched a video about Belos, came up with the theory that he cut his ears, then watched all of season one.

2:14 I'm not really the type to grimace over dark stuff, but I never thought about that. And the fact that they were left there to freeze and starve to death and then had their remains constantly walked on by later generations without it ever being realized that area was literally a graveyard is haunting to think about.

5:03 I think he was aiming for the witch not Caleb because he said he was a Witch Hunter and didn’t approve of his brother life. However, Caleb protect the witch and the brothers begin to fight and you know the rest of the story

Wow this is dark! Like I knew that the owl house is meant to be on the scarier side and S2b is supposed to be a lot darker than the beginning of the series but wow! Murdering his brother, carving glyphs into his arm, cutting off his ears, killing more than a dozen golden guards, burning villages, killing likely hundreds of innocent people, etc. Wow, I never expected a character to be so demented, even belos, I was expecting him to have a motive that’s he just took to far, but nope he just straight up wants to get rid of all witches and will do anything to do so. Honestly I’m shocked

This episode was so good, it surpassed Knock Knock Knockin on Hooty's Door as my favorite episode.

it’s pretty cool how much information the show gave to us about Belos’ backstory without outright telling us

I hope in a later episode we get those portraits animated, I wanna scar myself for life with that awesome animation and storytelling.

A couple of days ago, I was rewatching the owl house. Remember when Eda was about to get petrified? The news channel said there hadn't been a petrification for 30 years. What if the last petrification was the golden guard that got petrified? Originally, I didn't know about the petrified golden guard, and assumed it was Belos trying to kill off his brothers descendants, because I believe the clawthornes might be descended from Philip's brother. Seeing this video made me remember that theory that I came up with just a few days ago. And if the previous Golden Guard was Darius' mentor, that tineframe would be when Darius was about 10, since Eda and Raine went to Hexside with him and if I'm correct, are in their mid-late 30s, referencing a few details like edas mug that says "30 and flirty" from season 1. We don't know exactly how long she's had that cup, and it'd probably be difficult to find a cup that said "37 and flirty", so she could be anywhere in her 30s. 30 seems to be a number that keeps being repeated in this show, I wonder if anything else big besides the petrification happened 30 years ago. So assuming their ages are at least close, because Darius could also be older than Eda and Raine, Darius, could've watched his mentor get PETRIFIED while he was a little kid. We've seen the emperors coven take recruits while they are young, and we don't know what the age range for those recruits are specifically. If Darius seemed to young, they could've possibly let him continue his education at Hexside for a while. Watching Hunter become appointed as the new golden guard would be terrifying for him if he watched his mentor get killed.

The glyphs could be needed since it was a long distance cast into belos' mind unlike the close-range spell for luz and amity

5:47 " ah yes a kids show for kids "

Oh boy here we go. Time to lose my mind over this episode again.

0:36 I think that is not really a valid argument that Eda is the most powerful witch on the boiling iles. Eda was transfering Luz and Amity to Willows mind when she was right next to them. The spell circle was probably used to transfer from long distance. Still Eda didn't need a potion to transfer them but that can be part of the long distance transfer. I think the spell circle is needed for long transfer similarly to when Philip used it to travel to head of Titan. Eda is still the most powerful witch

In Number 5, i think that eda was in close vicinity of her target and that's why she could do it herself and with raine and the others they weren't close to belos and they needed extra power. I do like the idea that eda is THAT strong

Maybe the reason belos wouldn’t heal Ed’s in the season 1 finally is because the collector needed or wanted the owl Beast because in the episode knock knock knockin on hootys door in edas dream there is a character reminiscent of the collector and has the same voice

The episode's name is spelled as Hollow Mind and not Hallow Mind, I think this is a reference to the game Hollow Knight because some parts of Belos' backstory mirror certain events in Hollow Knight's lore and inner Belos' design is super similar to Hollow Knight's main character

2:42 this is a cool one i didn't notice, nice 👍

in the portrait of which philips brother is laying dead, its interesting to note that the brother is laying in the exact same position that the titan is laying in! edit: after watching edge of the world, there's this one scene that they pause on for a interestingly long time of the boiling isles titan laying there, and the at exact same angle that the portait of philips brother dead..

regarding how hunter was named - i think i was done as a joke, belos would have gotten a kick out of the wordplay

0:27 I'm a native spanish speaker, but I speak a little bit of english, when she said that I thought It was a saying or idiom 😂😂 meaning she has a lot of questions and no answers 😂😂

2:07 Woah :O

thank you for point out the details of the portraits, i felt i was missing so much information that i couldn't recognise

3:13 i am in physical pain over this realisation I'll be crying in the corner now, bye

I can’t believe they got those painting past the sensors. Like seriously they are so dark and messed up (which I absolutely love because I love when shows get dark) but I’m sure the kids didn’t look at the paintings which is understandable I didn’t when I first watched the episode.

Theory idea: that curse his brothers wife put on him is 1. His scar & why he says Wild magic is bad 2. His brothers wife’s hair style looks TOO familiar

Oh Cramity, Amity! OMG I WAS WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS VIDEO, IT IS FINALLY HERE!!

Thank you, and curse you for reminding me about my truma

Hey, thanks for isolating the portrait stuff! I'd seen a lot of things about these on tumblr, but I don't think I'd seen anyone give a close-up on the glyph carving or him cutting off his own ears (that's seriously messed up but I can totally see him doing it)

5:15 i think this might be a reference or foreshadowing of some sort to the day of unity and the titan, i mean... come on, that pose is too similar

You shed a lot more light on Philip’s backstory than I realized was there. Like I didn’t understand the context for the hug Caleb gave Philip but I do now.

Another thing I noticed is that hunter was sent to capture and kill the selkidomus because it was an ingredient for grimwalkers but that’s not the only time the 18th grimwalker is hinted at! In the episode where Gus joins a group of glandus students to get the galdorstones from the illusionist graveyard Bria says “we can sell the small ones to the emperors coven and keep the rest for ourselves” a galdorstone was also something needed to create a grim walker (how much you wanna bet this line was meant entirely for foreshadowing) so if Bria ever did sell belos the stones it would have brought him one step closer to creating a new grim walker! It was also mentioned in that episode that Gus and Matt would help build up the defenses for the graveyard but I don’t think they released just how much they needed to do that with hunter now leaving the emperor’s coven

I think the monster with palismen could be a creature like the Owl Beast, so this thing is there because of the curse Belos has (probably the curse of the witch that was with his brother). And this creature needs to eat palismen as the Owl Beast eat voles, as we saw on Eclipse Lake.

Wait i just noticed in the portrait at 5:22 where the wife cast a spell to Phillip has the shadow of the dead body of brother (i wonder why it's in separate memories as it seems like it was one thing after another) Ps. I think i know why (bc of scriptureof the episode and self explanation to Philip's story by the portraits)*facepalm*

That wittebane bros backstory was so much in depth and my brain is screaming now

2:57 - did you say can, or can't here? Because he definitely can't :P

“Out of all the grim walkers you looked the most like him” if you look at the pictures hunter looks ALOT like his brother am I the only one who just figured this out?

It may be a coincidence, but I think Luz’s cloak might be a reference to the mantle of spell resistance from D&D, as they share a similar design, and both protect the wearer from spells.

THE PORTRAITS STORY IS JUST AMAZING DAM IT GIVES US SO MANY LORE

I noticed 2 things 1. When hunter is arresting the criminals he uses the staff Belos gives him because hes in uniform but when he uses his staff to attack Luz its his palicemen staff 2. When Hooty talks about Hunter being stuck in the emperor's mind Darius gets concerned

“The name Hunter probably isn’t a name at all. It’s a title” Bro what the fu- are you telling me this poor kid never even had an actual name??

2:02 probably for when he still had a soul

woah woah woah i thought this was gonna be fun little easter eggs that i missed but nope now im full of existential dread and rlly wanna hug hunter

Hoping the next ep will be less to zero depressing. 😩

Another thing is that Hunter saved himself from being buried alive in Belos' mind by copying the same move Willow did on him in Any Sport In A Storm

Omg I just realized looking at the picture of Philips brother when he said that hunter was a grim walker “a better version of an old friend” that old friend was his brother! Hunter and all the other golden guards were supposed to be his brother!!!

Oh my god dude you earned a sub! That was very thorough with the portraits. Amazing!

The owl house: "Hey it is a fun story about witches and magic... enjoable for all kids and adults." Also The owl house:

When Luz’s mom was mixing the soup on the last episode you could see on her Ipad and it was a picture of the main character in amphibia that proves that the shows might be a little related 😊

I didn't interpret the writing as two inner Willows. I interpreted it as one inner Willow and the other was her anger toward Amity

I'm waiting for this, thanks a bunch Kasrium ❤

The fact number 22 made me shiver. That’s pretty messed up actually- Well, most of what Belos does is messed up

Omg look guys the collector has fingers

2:48 the collector now reminds me of Aku from Samurai Jack. Will it be that in the end Luz or someone else destroys the collector with a magic sword as well as the magic sword with which Jack killed Aku?

Man you just gained a new subscriber

i think luz calls them letters because thats what her mom called the "texts"

0:23 Those words are also used as those letters in the military alphabet

5:16 Don’t know if it means anything but Caleb’s death pose is the same as that of the Titan that becomes the Boiling Isles

"DAMN YOU PANCAKES 👹"

3:47 the blade belos and the monster (i dont know how to spell his name) used where the exact one the rat warden used to cut eda's head off in the first episode

That knife is the same knife the abomination teacher was going to dissect Luz with

2:14 I think that this girl survived or she has a relative because when Luz plays grudgby and amity gets hurt, there’s a nurse who looks very familiar to this girl

And this is supposed to be a ✨ children's show✨

The third one you didnt know had an owl in it, looking like hoot

ive been here since your first toh video, and im amazed by your growth!! ill be here all the way:d

This episode kinda hints to Caleb, Philips brother, being edas grandfather

my soul left my body hearing Hunter's voice swear-

Belos says “out of all of them you look the most like him” to hunter

"Hallow" Mind LMAO

Thanks for making videos I really enjoy watching them

“The name Hunter isn’t a name at all, it’s a title.” People named Hunter: *bye*

Philip lore is not gonna let me sleep tonight.

Well, yeah, but Willow was right there, Belos was thousands of miles away 0:39

:0 Im really surprised. Really, I mean, REALLY. Gosh, that would've been hard for me to notice! But some of it are kinda obvious tho.

Now i'm traumatized for learning how he got his ears like a witch, how he killed his golden guards, and how'd he got the cursed....

Philips brother looks like hunter.

I'm pretty sure all of us aren't fine after these season 2b episodes

it is the palismen souls, just cuz living ones cant go in doesnt mean ones that were killed and fused into the host cant

I’ve watched this show 5 TIMES and I never saw these things

5:34 Are the two witches in that picture Luz and Eda's sister?

OKAY Bellos cutting his ears thing was pretty dark

I caught like a third of these but I enjoyed the video anyway.

The Collector is like a parasiete in Belos' mind... Thee could change any memory, maybe he did... Teenage Philip wasn't anywhere to be seen and in his early memories his brothers eyes were scratched out...

DAMN YOU PANCAKES

Phillip’s brother’s wife at 5:27 has the same ripped skirt that Ed’s has

I dont think Belos feels not a ounce of remorse for killing the palisman...

Woah woah woah, Phillips Brothers shadow in the image where he's married to a witch looks remarkably like the hair of Eda's father I mean it can't be but it looks allot like him so maybe an ancestor to eda?

Nice video!

I guessed Phillip was belos right when the first diary page was spoken

0:37 It could also be that people with coven sigils can't do it because the magic needed for it is in another coven
