please please please long version of "Eclipse 2.0 left a partial backup with the Star, which is how Ruin rebuilt him."

*CRACKS KNUCKLES*

Okay so this is a headcanon that relies on about 3 levels of "so what if", but as far as I know it doesn't technically contradict canon.

Alright. Eclipse 3.0, the one that we have now, is not a clone, but a ghost.

So going back into the timeline: Ruin unleashed Eclipse right after Christmas (a present for us). Five days prior to that is the ep where Solar got knocked out in the West Arcade, something we now know was definitely Ruin taking his code. Six days before that, Solar's Moon showed up and got blasted. His body got carted off somewhere for disposal.

Now, consider that the Backup/Eclipse 2.0 met his end in Solar's universe. This was about a month and a half prior to Solar moving in-- and with the time differences between dimensions, it was more like 6 months for Solar. Solar left his dimension because his Moon was becoming dangerously unstable.

Okay we officially enter 'what if' territory here, because the Backup had the (powerless) star on him when he died. So what if:

Solar's Moon found the remains of the star

Even in their powerless state, the remains still had a negative effect on Moon's mental state-- or maybe Moon just lost it normally, without any influence from the star bits.

Moon had those star bits on him when he came to 'our' dimension to kill Solar

Ruin found those star bits with his corpse, because he needed a new diversion with BM fucking off, and hey! free corpse!

Ruin got the idea to rebuild Eclipse, and used Solar's Moon's body as the base

And.

What if at the moment of the Backup's death, he left a partial imprint or backup on the star?

What if that personality started to emerge, first with Solar's Moon (and is what drove him to acting aggressive), and finally with the 'Eclipse' Ruin had built, which is why he was so erratic and unpredictable up until that body got destroyed.

Because Eclipse has memories that he shouldn't.

Bloodmoon was a new person! They didn't have the memories of their prior selves, only knowledge of what had happened. They didn't experience it happening to 'them'.

But Eclipse? Eclipse remembers stuff well enough that he was picking fights with Moon over shit neither of them were personally there for. He remembers stuff that Ruin has no possible way of knowing, and he remembers stuff from a personal perspective.

The star bits are gone, destroyed with that body by Lunar, but Eclipse's personality was fully manifested by that point. It was uploaded to the cloud storage and then downloaded into the new body, without the directives he'd been originally built with and had been fighting against. Ruin didn't need him to have the directives anymore (and possibly also removed them because they were making Eclipse act unpredictable), he didn't need him to pretend to be Eclipse.

Somehow, he'd managed to actually bring back the real thing.

Post Reaver's Mansion walk home...before an unfortunate turn of events in the story. But we can ignore that right now :')

(This is related to my idea of having Ben Finn come to the party, which I have a full design for here, and the crew's shredded party outfits here)

Hmgngmhn dialogue idea between Travis and Aphmau that I can't be bothered to make into a proper scene yet but I'm very proud of

"Aphmau, are you a reader of ancient mythos?"

"I can't say I am. Laurance always has some comparison to make to their plays though."

"Hm. Guess I'll have to tell him this some time."

"Tell him what?"

"There's an old myth about a man named Sisyphus. I've thought about it a lot."

"Care to tell me what's on your mind?"

"The finer details don't really matter, what's important is that Sisyphus was punished by the gods. As a punishment for his ambitions, he was cursed to eternal torture. Push a boulder up a hill, and then push it back down."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Does it accomplish anything?"

"Nothing."

"That's awful."

"It's how I felt on that island. For a while, every single day was the same thing. Wake up, fight off the Demon Warlock, get yelled at for fighting off the Demon Warlock, go to bed. Then you wake up and do it all again."

"Up the hill..."

"...Down the hill. It's maddening."

"Strangely enough, I think I can relate to that."

"Really?"

"Not exactly, but a similar concept. Being a lord can feel like that sometimes. Wake up, check in on everyone, address problems in the village, start a new project, go to bed. Then you wake up and do it all again."

"But you like being a lord."

"I love it. And I would never call it a punishment."

"So it's not really the same."

"Why not? Who's to say Sisyph-- Sisy-- That guy! wasn't able to eventually love that boulder!"

"Wh-What??"

"Or maybe he loves the hill. But he has to love something, otherwise why would he keep going?"

"Well, the gods also cursed him with immortality so he couldn't die."

"You said the finer details don't matter!"

"Okay, but that's not a finer detail!"

"Then why didn't you say it before?! You said--"

"I know what I said--"

"No! No, you specifically said "finer details don't matter." You didn't say Sisy-whoever was immortal, so it's counted in those finer details!"

"Oh my Irene. I said that in regards to things like his family, and why he was punished."

"Are you saying that someone's family doesn't matter in their story? That they should only be known for their most miserable moment?"

"...It sounds awful when you say it like that."

"Then tell me the full story."

"Fine. Sisyphus was a tyrant, who slaughtered so senselessly that the gods sought to punish him. In response, Sisyphus attempted to cheat death. He used his own wife and risked her life while doing so. As recompense he was given the immortal life he craved, but burdened with the punishment of his boulder and his hill. An endless task with no meaning, no purpose, no respite. Endless solitude, endless repetition."

"Oh."

"I'm... still trying to figure out what it means."

"Why did he do it?"

"I don't know. I don't know why he did any of what he did. And quite frankly... I don't know if he deserved his punishment."

"I... Don't either."

just read the new mutants issue where Charles chose to stay behind in space and my god the juxtaposition between Charles trusting Erik and Erik joining the hellfire club and wondering at his own trust worthiness. I wonder how much of Charles decision was him ultimately trying to avoid the fact that his first class had seemingly betrayed mutant kind and not be willing to face them and how much of it was Dani and Illyana's reaction to him having Karma mind control Illyana. the fact that Illyana was depending on him to ease her mind through limbo and in choosing to stay he forced karma to do it instead, probably fucking up their relationship in the process.

I love him, this is crazy, how much of this is him trying to runaway and how much is this him not trusting himself to fix things and how much is it just him trusting Erik?

i keep trying to put into words my exact thoughts about the sitch but there really is a lot for one issue aintit... oh charles you and your brain...
