Another Steven Universe character that has a lot of parallels with The Collector from The Owl House is actually Lapis Lazuli!


Both were sent to a new world by their superiors for what was supposed to be a fun and/or relaxing time.


But instead both got caught in the middle of a war between two powerful factions that they never signed up for.


Both were confused/mistaken as the enemy by those who they wanted to be their allies. And was consequently trapped away in an object.
Lapis was then found and used as a tool for the Crystal Gems. While The Collector was found and used as a stepping stone for his plans by Belos/Philip.



But then finally they were found by someone younger, a little kid who would eventually become their first ever real friend.



And that friend broke them free from the object with powerful force. Freeing them at last and destroying the object in the process.
Some days ago i did this tweet about how The Collector from TOH is similar with both Pink Diamond and Spinel….


Because i saw people saying they are like Spinel or like Pink Diamond (kinda, before WaD aired) but honestly they are munch like a mix of both….
For Collector and Pink Diamond, it’s because they are the more small/younger member of the group they were (The Diamond Authority and the Archivists) and not wanting to follow them in they ways (Playing instead of following the Collectors motto in FtF / Wanting his own colony and after changing his mind while discovering life).
And for Spinel and Collector: They were later tricked into something in which they were left alone (or trapped) for thousand years before meeting people who love them (in the case of The Collector, it’s after Belos found him, and with his backstory in WaD) …

I’m not sure if i explained this well, but i hope it’s understandable…
