#FreeSunday

[h3wi]

to add on:

my take is that trailblazer is talking about how the paradise that sunday wants to create by putting everyone in a dream (where they slumber to escape reality for a contrived utopia) will not last. which ties back to your point on how every instance of ena's order was ephemeral in it's "perfection".

this would contradict sunday's penchant for complete control and nihilism. in addition with the religious themes surrounding him that seem to liken him to an omnipotent god (plus the literal boss form), it reduces him, or rather reminds him that he is in fact, very human. how it is simply not within his ability (nor should it be) to be a lonesome god watching over everyone else. that no one can run away from reality forever.

it also asserts the nameless' stance on trailblazing forward regardless of potential, unavoidable suffering. that it is a natural part of human life, and does not make living any less worth it.

sunday, seems to me, like a man who is very, very kind and does not want anyone to suffer. to the point where he values that paradise over the freedom of the people as well as his own (where he is willing to shoulder all the burden like atlas with the sky on his back). the final act is them trying to convince him of my three points above.

Sunday HSR Analysis

“People often forget that when the first bird took flight, the entire world envisioned a future where… No more fledglings would ever crash to their death.”

Hsr 2.2 spoilers 👇

I think Sunday values security and safety above all. Robin tells him he doesn’t need to do everything and not relax and we also see how much he does. He’s kind of like a pastor (or preacher idk the difference) hearing ppls confessions. Sunday is definitely seen as the perfect person. A responsibile, talented, brother than handles everything. Sunday’s main internal conflict is him not being sure he’s doing the right thing. He’s trying to persuade himself that he’s just trying protect people (but mainly Robin ig). And as Aventurine’s Future says something along the lines of:

“To deceive others, you must first deceive yourself.”

I think there are multiple parallels between the two. They both value security (or a false sense of it), deceive others, and in a way, gamble. Sunday’s plan of teaming up with Ratio and getting the “aventurine” stone. His questions with the Trailblazer, Himeko, March, and Firefly were pretty risky if you ask me. And like Aventurine, has questionable ways of achieving their goals. He believes he’s doing the right, and more importantly, necessary things to keep Penacony up and running. His drive isn’t principle like he suggests at the beginning, but need.

When Welt, Sunday, and Robin talk to the Dreammaster, he speculates that they do not worship the Harmony but the Order and Sunday confirms this. He says:

“We were never the children of the Harmony… Within the foundation of law, humanity establishes civilization. And through Harmony, we obtain Order.”

This makes a lot of sense. Sunday’s truth spell doesn’t match the belief of the Harmony very well. It’s very forceful as we can see with Aventurine’s interrogation. Since we now know it’s the Order, his power matches that path perfectly. I mean, he’s a control freak like Ena the Order.

Furthermore, he keeps bringing up the bird story and it dying. When he tells Himeko, March, Firefly, and the Trailblazer the story, he asks them:

“…build a nest with a soft net where the Charmony Dove fell? Or build a cage for it, and feed it, giving it the utmost care from within the warmth of a home?”

March chooses to build a cage and protect it

Himeko chooses to build a cage and protect it

Firefly chooses to build a cage and protect it

The Trailblazer chooses to build a nest.

He then asks another question, the Trailblazer chooses the opposite of what Sunday chose.

Sunday then asked the third and final question.

“Would you still support Robin’s journey on the path of Harmony?”

The Trailblazer says yes.

Let me ask you this: How much can you blame Sunday? He wants protection, for himself and others. That’s why he follows the Order. He believes that you need force to have preace. Sunday wants to unite people under the Order.

But every planet that followed the Order shined bright but burned just as quickly.

He thinks his sister is naïve for following the Harmony and getting that bullet injury, but I would argue Sunday is just as naïve as her. None of the planets that worshipped Ena the Order succeeded in the long term. But the thing about Sunday that makes his naïveté worse than Robin’s, who is less naïve and more idealistic, is his arrogance and ignorance. Sunday is constantly reassuring himself he is a follower of the Order for the sake of Penacony and the Dreamscape.

I think Sunday’s view on humanity is pessimistic (as put in the hsr wiki) bc he detaches himself from. When he talks about, well anything in 2.2 it gives very “i’m a god and you pitiful humans are doomed.” However, he still genuinely wants to help people. I think this god-like stance is a bluff, a facade. We know from the Robin and Sunday cutscene that Sunday believes he has the be the one person that protects everyone, the person who suffers for everyone else. He has to put on a face that says “dw I got it.” Sunday thinks that he has and always will be the reliable one. He emotionally distances himself from everyone else to “see the big picture.”

When Sunday asks why does life slumber, the Trailblazer answers:

“Because someday…we will wake up from our dreams.”

This shocks Sunday. And if i’m being perfectly honest. I don’t really know exactly why. Maybe because he realizes that people (and himself) need to stop indulging into escapism.

And he replies:

“The night is still…too short…”

Sunday still wants to dream of something (or reminisce the past?). I’m not sure we gotta wait for him to be playable.

Before that Robin says:

“Even if that star… must hang in a perpetual night of solitude”

So that might also mean he thinks he deserves being alone or doing everything :((( this is a stretch tho

Robin also says:

“Brother… the weakness of humanity cannot be redeemed by others. Stop it… You want to achieve the paradise we promised but the Order is not the only choice! True happiness and the meaning life lie in defying Nihility and embracing all that life offers!”

Sunday wants to solve other peoples problems and humanity’s weakness

He might be nihilistic :((

He’s lonely :(

I love Sunday sm <333

Going For Disney Wait Let take these steps to do first.

Have you been getting ready for years to take that outing to Disney World. Are your children are presently at that uncommon age where despite everything they have confidence in the enchantment that is Disney. Have you set aside the money and are prepared for the excursion of a lifetime. 

At that point you have to take in a couple of traps before taking off to Disney World and squandering quite a bit of your well deserved cash. 

The principal trap for the shrewd Disney vacationer is to keep an eye on e-straight three weeks previously the outing searching for stop tickets. Never purchase single day single stop tickets. This youtube video describe here about The recreation center container ticket is the approach. This ticket will permit you change parks amid the times of your excursion. You can abandon one stop and go to another to maintain a strategic distance from the group. You can likewise buy marked down amusement stop tickets from destinations like 

Get to the parks at a young hour in the day. Most families get a kick out of the chance to rest in and appreciate a late breakfast. So even with the parks opening at a young hour in the day they are moderately unfilled before anything else. Ride the recreation center rides at the back of the recreation center first. It might require a significant stretch of time to stroll into the recreation center however most different supporters stop at the primary rides and ride those. As the recreation center fills they move to the back rides. Use this opportunity to appreciate a portion of the prevalent rides at the back of the recreation center and spare your fastpass tickets.
