Fanon
When people first saw the Collector's face and noticed that it is a little similar to Luz's, they began to theorize that Luz might end up getting possessed by the powerful child. This theory got CollecterLuz to be placed in a trio crossover with Dipper Pines and Marcy Wu in their possessed forms. Until the disproved theory was scrapped and Luz ended up being replaced by Hunter, who did get possessed.

Once people realized that the Collector was in fact a kid in need of guidance of love, their views of him changed and were glad that Luz was able to befriend him. There was even a moment when fans assumed that the Collector would have been adopted by either Eda or Camila, making him and Luz siblings. That the friendship is sometimes viewed as a familyship.
