Headcanon? What is it? 👀

ALRIGHT so this was referring to a day or so ago where i cackled maniacally about a headcanon. Cause I was talking about Lunar and Eclipse parallels and like- i love them. Theyre so funky silly. Complicated we love to see it. So, i may use this somewhere- We know Lunar got his Star Power from space. Which is a very weak story plot point to be honest. It doesnt sell it for me and why I didn't take to the whole 'Lunar is part star now because... space' BECAUSE ITS BORING. NOW

Now with that in mind. Think back to when he died, when he died, how he died. Who killed him. Eclipse. With the Star in HAND. in his POSSESSION. Bro's figuring that out and his almost immediate action is to find Lunar. He blows up Lunar with his star, BUT NOT ENTIRELY. We still have the nanomachines here that Monty picks up. Now here's the fun part. Due to literally how the star is... rather weird with how it will 'bond' or like be used. Remember the one universe GlamFreddy had it and accidentally wished everyone away and couldn't bring them back, couldn't figure that out. Part of that WHOLE thing with blowing up Lunar (that we do find out Eclipse while acting out about the betrayal but genuinely did care for Lunar despite being rather terrible at it.), part of that star power would've latched onto Lunar. Either out of Eclipses subconcious or just straight up he JUST got this Star its not gonna act the way he'd want really. Like legit, it would've made more coherent sense and more parallel and Eclipse literally fueling the nonsense YET AGAIN. Unknowingly. Which makes it funnier for Eclipse going off about 'YOU GOTTA KILL LUNAR' prophecy. Self fulfilling prophecy he headstarted himself. Which I don't think he had KNOWN why yet. Just that Lunar would bring terrible things (the astrals). PLUS the fact would give the astrals like 'What the FUCK are you???' more of a credence rather than 'eh u were born in the stars enjoy'. Anyway TLDR; Eclipse using the Star to blow up Lunar, gave Lunar the star power.

S2 EP2 LIVEBLOG

AAAAA WORRY

boat jail

dflgkjdfg “There’s nothing more despised than stowaways” “cmon, ever heard of pirates” “PIRATES are just doing their job”

technically those empty rooms could have been filled last minute by people buying tickets

captain noland!

“you may consider yourself safe from mutiny on this perfectly harmonious craft” foreshadowing?

“ive always wanted to live through a mutiny” of course you have.

CANNONBALL

“I have neither the time nor inclination to deliver that anecdote” lgkhjfgh

+ kate trying to bond over nicknames

I do already love cannonball though. good man

“child ghosts”

ohh add cricket to the short list of existing mbs sports

ohhhh water polo? uh oh

constance loves ripping pages out of books huh

dgfkldkfjg holding the intercom out for the guy behind to whistle into it

DLFKGJDLKFGJDFG “permission to speak freely” “always, you and I are beyond formality” “no thank you captain I strongly request formality” CANNONBALL I LOVE YOU

“granted”

I bet they��re going to frame the water polo team, also counted four

“is there any chance of miscalculation?” [visibly offended] “PERMISSION TO SPEAK FRANKLY AND WITHOUT HESITATION?” “oh, I know there’s no miscalculation—”

“you are the human embodiment of accuracy and integrity” “that is correct” LDKFJGLDKFGJDLKFGJ I LVOE CANNONBALL SO MUCH HES SO FUNNY I ADORE HIM

“my job is already in jeopardy” oh?

walking the plank dflkgjdfg

“make an example of them” uh oh!

also I wonder if captain noland is still an old friend or mr benedicts and if that’ll come up again

imagine they do get captured and one of them blurts out something like “listen we just need to save mr benedict—” and the others aer like SHH and hes like wait. nicholas benedict?

and they’re like. you. you know him.

and he’s like MY OLD FRIEND NICHOLAS???? HE’S BEEN KIDNAPPED???

wild

anyway

THEME SONG!!

mr b just. collapse into chair

also number two’s windswept hair<3

also curtain standing up and benedict immediately sitting down dlkgdhg

the BLUEBERRY IN THE SPOUT

LITERALLY LFKGJHFGH “youre delusional and your demonstration is meaningless” literally! literally what was that supposed to represent

lkjdfglkjdfg [grumpily] well I rather liked it

“well what does the blueberry represent” “YES what does it represent”

mr benedict looks like he is literally on the verge of a panic attack

“and you are no mere associate. you are the fabled number two” “brilliant thinker, intuitive woodworker…”

suspicious of all this (completely true) praise…

“KIDNAPPED? no! a word like that just fuels the cycle of anger” YOU KIDNAPPED THEM

IF THEY FOLLOW THIS UP WITH “YOU LITERALLY STUNNED US AND SHOVED US IN A LOCKED CAR AND FORCED US TO COME HERE” LKJDG

did he. did he just eat the blueberry from the spout

JACKSON AND JILLSON!!!!!!!!!!

“your brother! this is a special honor indeed!” oh my god this is incredibly creepy this is somehow worse than last time bc of the “happiness”

“we need the full picture. and then we escape” uh oh

I wonder if number two is going to look back at that moment and wonder if they’d tried to escpae then, how much could have been avoided…

REGULAR BAD OR PSYCHIC BAD so they DO KNOW?

no lmao okay

oh reynie trying to bond again :(

“oh boatwright is all about personal space” “distance is healthy?” “you choose to connect” oh that was exactly the wrong thing to say

also love how it’s cutting between reynie and sticky knocking like normal people and kate and constance like. breaking int oshit and climbing over the edge of the boat lkdjfghgh

CONSTANCE BIO PARENTS MENTION? I mean obviously it’s not going to be real information but—

wait the polar bears. like. her whole theme opening thing being arctic themed…..

WERE CONSTANCE’S PARENTS ARCTIC EXPLORERS BC THAT IS WILD.

also . Russian connection?

“polar bears and clowns. the sound was awful” dlkgjdfgdfhh

crack treated seriously fic where that is fully true

LKGJFLKHJFG cannonball’s immediate crouch and sprint at “lost children”

I LOVE HIM

ohh dirigible time

inverness

milligan has so many bags.

“I checked the rest of it” dlkgfjdlfgjfg

he wants to be overprepared…. :(

simialrities to kate

also they’re all looking great but RHONDA…. GIRL… HOLY FUCK yoU ARE TRANSCENDANT

DLKFGJDG what is with this. alpaca? llama?

Jackson and jillson’s weird jubilation I think. I think they’re genuinely brainwashed too not just willing participants

maybe they were willing at first but now I think they are legit brainwashed

also lgdkjhjfgh [speaking in unison] [then] “I treasure you.” “and I you.” lfkghjlfkghj what help I love them

number two’s reaction to this too dlgkhjfgh

mr benedict’s immediate reaction to pay attention to the small child

bad feelings

they’re all painting yellow

dlfkgjdflkgj they kepe doing it and it’s hysterical/sweet/deeply worrying every time

[speaking in unison] [then] “who made you?” “I’d like to think we make each other”

some are executives… oh no…. MARTINA…?

is martina gonna be brainwashed ?

NUMBER TWO BITING INTO A LEMON LIKE AN APPLE!! CHEERS AND APPLAUSE!! WE DID IT! WE WON!

one of the earliest adopters of his philosophy… and the one who’s going to go coma isn’t he

weirdly unnerving inside to cabin but I don’t know why it feels unnerving

I bet that circular window is that one shot from the trailer

“…are you talking about the bathroom?” “that’s up to you”

mr benedict immediately assuming the kids will take action and he is correct

 THE WINDOW SHOT I WAS RIGHT

do yall really think it’ll be that easy dflkgjdfg please he wouldn’t have left you there if not

constance casually pointing out the inverted book ldkfjgdfg

god imagine a universe where they weren’t kidnapped like the adults happily watching them run around the room figuring this out :(

HEY I WAS RIGHT AOBUT THE ROOM THING

“this is very uncomfortable”

GET THE CLUE FIRST

no sugar ldkfjgdlkfgj

YOU RUPTURE JUST ONE SUPERTANKER AND DF;LGKD;LFGKDFG WHAT

cannonball visibly restraining himself

oh captain noland,

what’s up with this

dfgdfg [sticky] exactly like that.

oh bc you are all are so good at blending in

I love you guys but youre terrible spies when it comes to blending in

yeah kids eating alone at a table only for four wotn be suspicious

OH ONE OF STICKYS FRIENDS?

marcus hoover… hm

“119” hmm

oh sticky. :(

constance’s first part “you feel too much” is almost quiet, comforting, and then “it will get us killed” lfkgjlfgkh

oh no don’t talk to the water polo team kate

oh yeah this isn’t suspicious at all

oh mr benedict and number two hiking essentially lfkghjfghh

“please stop harping on my fitness” ldkgjdfgh

rip buff mr b au

“he’s always been obsessed with being liked, OBSSESSED”

also the way he abruptly cuts himself off with heLLOOOOO

gkljfghfgh “you look SO much like your brother” “.oh.” “and almost as sweet! :)” “well.”

why do I have a feeling this guy wasn’t unhappy he was just like. normal and fine. but now he’s constantly fake elated so it’s messing with his perception

the way he keeps leaning in super close and mr benedict leans all the way back like “oh my” dlfkgjdgfg

uh oh why is he scratching

also who said theory about them all being in the same location,,, they’re still there but the timing is wrong

STOP YELLING AT CANNONBALL I HATE YOU STOP YELLING AT HIM

fkdlfkgj you had to mention bad prawns

not suspicious at all, kids

oh I guess it wasn’t a room key!

dgldfg the plotting course things and kate and sticky’s reaction

also that couple coming to enjoy their honeymoon and some poker chips fall from the ceiling

ohhh milligan time

and missp erumal and rhonda but milligan is the one talking so I said him first

ohhh milligan’s parenting issues

orange juice????

“did kate escape to find benedict or was part of her trying to escape from me?”

two things I note here: a) main part of brain goes AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOGHFHOFHOHGOHHHHHHHHHHHHH :(((( like no babe I promise she still loves you she just has growing to do

b) the blorbo brainrot part of me however winces at him calling mr b “benedict” glkjfghfgh

and of course the turbulence

AAYYYY ROLL CREDITS

is something wrong

ohhh rhonda looks gorgeous

oh parenting is anything but simple

“…it’s hard.” “it’s hard.”

I am WORRIED about them that’s a STORM

“ah! big fence” dlfkgjdfg

number two immediately slapping her hands like COME ON CLIMB UP BITCH!

“your faith in me is inspiring but I am not an accomplished climber” g;klfghfgh yea<3

JUST DO WHAT I DO PRETEND YOU’RE AN ANGRY HOWLER MONKEY AND AT THE TOP OF THIS FENCE IS THE PERSON WHO STOLE YOUR JACKFRUIT LKJHLKFJGHGHH PLEASE I LOVE HER SO MUCH

“potent motivation. helpful”

immediate zap

SQ???? FOR THE NEXT STAGE?? WALKABOUT FOR SELF DISCOVERY?? WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

“electric fence?!”

first of all love that he finally gets to just storm into curtains office and yell at him been waiting for that since season one

secondly also love that he is literally like “WE JUST TRIED TO ESCAPE. WHAT THE FUCK.”

where’s number two does she know he’s doing this

“choose your own path”

STILL NOT OVER THE VIBE THING

oh. oh. this is. this is the first time someone’s called him nicholas to his face in. in the whole show.

oh.

oh.

oh.

oh.

oh.

oh.

ahem. anyway

“moved on” huh? SOMEHOW I doubt it

but very funny if he has. after thirty years + nicholas ruining his world domination scheme with some literal children he just goes “actually im over the whole abandonment issues thing”

outdated view of me…. that is the source of much unhappiness…. that’s weird and hes talking wei—YEAH

“you’re changing your cadence and your frequency” are you trying to literaly hypnotize him????? girl?????

“Sadness is a choice, sadness is so isolating”

THE SHOT ITS THE SHOT FROM THE TRAILER I OBSSESSED WITH A BIT

CURTAIN REACHING OUT AND BENEDICT LEANING AWAY

“orchestrated movements; sequencing my rods and my cones…”

HYPNOTISM HES LITERALLY TRYING TO HYPNOTIZE HIM

and curtains mad scientist grin

“no. I see what you’re doing—”

he’s going to protest and say no, I know what’s going on, this won’t work—

and then it’ll work.

I’m calling it now.

“brilliant? it’s deplorable!”

“it’s a complete disconnection from true emotion! who’s going to benefit from that except you?!”

“it’s so disappointing to see you turn to envy” AGAIN WITH THIS. listen im not saying he could never be jealous/envious (ldkfg remember in s1 when they’re like oh he got that grant! weren’t you up for that? and hes like :/ like yeah) but like. this is clearly more about CURTAIN BRAINWASHING PEOPLE LDKJGDFG

I mean obviously curtain isn’t a reliable narrator here but if that’s the thing they’re going to push, that mr b is jealous of his success, I’m going to literally bite people

“im not jealous. im—heartbroken” and his voice cracks a bit oh god

goat yogurt? goatgurt

I wanna hug him so bad

please let me hug him please I desperately want to hug him

uh oh sebastian the acolyte

uh oh uh oh uh oh uh oh

that was mildly terrifying

oh constance I love you

dlkfgdkfjglkfdgj captain noland youre so funny what the fuck

LKDFJGLKDFJG THE CARICATURES

oh water polo team that’s. terrifying

APOLLO’S BIRD! CORVUS! LIKE FROM THE THEME AGAIN!

sticky you are a nerd (affectionate)

“you can make fun of me but we did this together” “no one’s gonna make fun of you” [everyone turns to look at constance]

she didn’t say anything! so! progress!

OH SO WE’RE ENDING WITH THE WATER POLO TEAM SMASHING IN THE DOOR? OKAY

so im going to think about literally nothing else the rest of the week.
