Now That We Know The Golden Guard Role Was Likely Belos’ 100% Invention (Wittebro Is Never Shown With

Now that we know the Golden Guard role was likely Belos’ 100% invention (Wittebro is never shown with that mask, even though such a thing would be VERY important to Philip if he did wear it), who wants to bet the Golden Guard sigil, AKA the Gravesfield crest, was all Belos’ idea as well?

After all, Wittebro doesn’t wear a cloak and while it’s possible he has the Gravesfield insignia stitched onto the back of his shirt... Given how the episode ends with Hunter rejecting the cloak and what it means after working so hard to obtain it, y’know. And I can see Wittebro wanting to leave behind his bigoted past, while Philip desperately clings on.

So he imposes a reminder of Gravesfield onto his brother’s back in a sense; A harsh reminder that this is who you REALLY are, this is where you actually came from, and this is your real home. You’re a witch hunter operating on behalf of Gravesfield; Act like it. And at the same time, Philip is forcing his brother to earn back the right to be considered a member of Gravesfield, of the human community, due to being a traitor who rejected home and consorted with witches, even embracing the imagery of their home in death with a pose that mimics the Titan’s.

And it’s telling that in his attempts to ‘reclaim’ his brother as he should’ve been, Philip made a mask for his clones as Wittebro did to him; Because he wants to start over as kids and have his brother join in the fantasy with him this time. And maybe trying to pay his brother back, in gratitude; Or just relieving himself from the obligation of debt, or flex the reversal of positions and thus power Belos has by being the one to bestow gifts and a masked identity (that defines your role as a witch hunter) this time.

A hug, perhaps?

Look! I drew actually good hands! I used myself for pose reference and went from there, but here have a lad in his updated outfit :)

Aaah that makes sense :0 I'm not a big fan of Ironwood as this ireedeemable evil as of the end of V8, but I agree that both him and Raven make for very interesting antagonists and they have (or had since one is dead) a lot of potential <3 Raven still having room to grow is true, I hope we'll see more of her eventually ! Thanks for answering my question !

Can I ask why/how you parallel Ironwood and Raven ? (based on the ask about your favs). I'm struggling to find the equivalence, outside of the idea "Fear" that plays a significant part in both their character (mainly through PTSD for Ironwood and self-preservation/survival for Raven). Is there something else ? Have a good day ! (PS : I love your AMVs <3 )

Aw thanks!

Both Raven and Ironwood had a sort of tragic slide into sympathetic villainy. I wouldn’t forgive anything Ironwood does in Volume 8, as I wouldn’t forgive anything Raven’s done since she left her team. But their mindsets are written with such complexity and depth that you understand their compulsions to act in this way better than most other antagonists (which is why Ironwood and Raven are my favorite antagonists from a writing perspective -- Roman just takes the cake for likeability). However, Raven is superior to Ironwood in my opinion because all of this development happened before we met her; it enriches her present character and leaves room to grow, rather than her arc being about becoming the way she is.

Thanks for the ask!

Me @ any couple irl tbh. Look, my relationship radar is nonexistent; either you get on one knee and propose right now in front of my eyes or you're just very good friends </3
