I've just watched Lunar's nightmare, and I don't even know, where to begin!

First of all, there is the "You're a disappointment" line from Castor. I really, really hope, this was just Lunar's imagination, because I will cry otherwise-

The dream itself though? Terrifying. There's something so unsettling about the warm atmosphere as Lunar is chased by their nightmares. It gives off a false sense of security. The lights are warm and comforting, the place is cozy. They went there for safety, and yet, they ended up found, and chased in a scene that could be out of a horror movie, only to end up dead.

Then there are the things they saw, the people they encountered. The very personification of their fears and insecurities.

Earth and Monty's scene in particular made my heart sink. They are so afraid, that Earth is still scared of them. To make matters worse, Monty seemed just as terrified, and this hits honestly horribly. They were the first to reach out, to treat them with kindness. They were always a protective barrier, and an emotional support. Hell, they were the one to witness their death, and brought them back! They were the one, who made Lunar doubt Eclipse, simply by treating them kinder than their own brother! Seeing them nervous and scared is…honestly? I'm not even sure how to describe it. The idea, that Lunar thinks Monty, strong, protective, fierce Monty could be afraid of them, when she really loves them so much is…painful, to say the least…

Then theres Gemini. Oh, dear, sweet Gemini… The way they mocked them, spoke out the words Lunar thought about themself… Pollux in particular made me nervous, she was pretty much chirping out her words, sounding delighted as she mocked him…its incredibly eerie.

And then there's Eclipse. Oh. My. God. Eclipse. Where does one even start with him? I think, this dream perfectly represents to us just how fucked up their relationship is.

Of course, he started out as the backup in Solar Flare's body, lurking outside the window. Just like last time. It's a direct callback to their trauma, same as when they avoided the room in which they was caught. It's the day of the hunt again, the day of Lunar's death.

What I find interesting though, is Eclise's role. Because Eclipse is the most prominent, of course he is, he is the cause of the trauma. But I find it interesting, that he talks in the same breath as Gemini. The two/three of them talk together, switching as they throw insults. It feels big. It makes sense as well, I don't think, Lunar cares as little about Eclipse as they'd like to admit. A deep rooted part of them, one they keep hidden away, seem to still care about what he has to say.

There's also the room in which they were caught. They go in, and immediately leave, only for Eclipse to chase them inside again. It feels as though it is saying, that Eclipse still has control, still has influence, though I could be wrong of course!

There's also the way he speaks to them, almost like talking to someone younger. Not a child, exactly, but someone who operates similarly. Given, that he designed them to be younger though, it makes sense. After all, how would Lunar be able to leave him, if they are young, and need to depend on their big brother still?

And then comes the first Eclipse, the original Eclipse. And man, this truly shows their old dynamic, the absolute terror it was, the way it made Lunar feel! Eclipse talks so casually, as though that's all they are, brothers. But then he locks the door, because Lunar could never escape from him, not from him. And then he starts yelling, making them feel bad for leaving, because of course, of course Lunar harbors guilt for it. After all, there were good moments there, moments that made them wonder, if they were really in the right. And of course Eclipse would guilt drip them, because that's what manipulators tend to do. One could also bring up Lunar's wish to understand Eclipse, their realization, that he's as fucked up as the rest of them. It may make them wonder, if they were in the wrong after all. Most tragically is, how they listen to him though, soaking in his words like the truth, and simply going with what he's saying, even answering him, thinking it's exactly what Eclipse wants to hear, just like they used to.

It's the haunting realization, that Lunar may never be free around Eclipse. If they are angry, they'll be controllable. But if they aren't, then they'll be afraid, and then they'll listen.

"I'm a monster" "A monster? Oh, you're worse than that. A failure." This line drives me insane, actually. There is just so much you can interpret into this single line.

On one hand, it could be "I may be a monster, but you are a failure, who can't do anything right."

But it could also be: "I am a monster. But you can't even be that much, you fail in doing even that." And this is what makes me insane. This is what drives me up the walls.

Just hear me out here: The meaning of what a "monster" is, can be incredibly subjective. However, there are two people that Lunar views as such.

Their first brothers, their original brothers. Bloodmoon is a literal monster in the sense of a bloodthirsty beast, craving only violence. Eclipse is a metaphorical monster. He is what Lunar fears most.

Lunar loved his brothers. He was so excited when he met Bloodmoon. He only ever wanted with Eclipse what Moon and Sun had. He wanted the three of them to be family.

But they are monsters, and he fails in being that. He could never be a part of them, no matter how much he'd wish for it, because he is not like them. He is a failure, for he can't even be a monster, feeling remorse and spiraling when he kills someone, even if it's someone, who hurt him deeply.

Last but not least is the conversation they held with themself. Interestingly enough, the other Lunar reminded me of the time, they were still stuck in Moon's head, and only had one official brother. Except they are bored, and are waiting for something to happen. How ironic, that this version of all mocks them, and tells them to grow up.

However, they managed to pull themself up, and that's all they can do for now. However, if dream Sun is to be believed? It's still just a mask again, they may be relapsing into old habits soon…

And then the Adhd took over, which is relatable-

HOLY SHIT, THIS IS SO DAMN LONG- I AM SO SORRY, MY MIND IS JUST IN OVERDRIVE RIGHT NOW, AND I WANTED TO SHARE MY THOUGHTS WITH YOU-

-Stardust

YEYSYSYEYYSYSYSYSHAHAHAHHHA!!!!!!!! YEEEEESSSSSSS YOU TORE THIS EPISODE APART DON'T APOLOGIZE I LOVE YOUR THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have many additional thoughts you are just so correct on ALL OF THIS. Episodes like this that give insight to a character's feelings and fears and thought processes are just EVERYTHING 2 ME. Especially with the fact that this dream had a theme of 1) being a failure and thus, a disappointment (Eclipse and Gemini) and 2) being a monster and thus, too scary to be around (Earth and Monty).

AND GHOD. ECLIPSE AS A WHOLE IN THE DREAM YEAH. I HONESTLY FELT MY HEART DROP WHEN HE SHOWED UP IN THE GLOWY SUN MODEL I FELT LIKE I JUST GOT BLASTED A MILLION YEARS INTO THE PAST. And yea omg the fact he locked the door scared me so bad. Especially with the fact that, like u said, he spoke so casually to Lunar as he came up the stairs. But literally behind closed doors it's an immediate barrage of insults!

AND GHOD. GHOOOOODDDDD BOTH THE WAYS TO INTERPRET ECLIPSE'S LINE TO LUNAR YEAH!!!!! "A MONSTER LIKE THE REST OF US" VS "TOO MUCH OF A FAILURE TO EVEN BE THAT." AUGH I'M GUNNA THINK ABOUT THAT FOREVER

AND WITH THEMSELVES,,, YEAH. YEAG. Seeing that version of Lunar come through the door IMMEDIATELY made me tear up I get so emotional for any variation of "same person talks to a version of themselves from a different point in time" and that HIT for me. Their words reminded me of when Lunar told Earth they don't like how they see themselves (before the Eclipse thing even happened), and I can only guess that old Lunar's words are an extension of that </3

AND THEN SUN AND THE DRAGON YEAHAGWJSGSKWGJCSM SUN'S WORDS WERE RLLY INTERESTING BUT THE DRAGON DISTRACTED ME SO BAD I DIDN'T EVEN PROCESS THEM THE FIRST TIME THROUGH. Sun voice stop lying to yourself stop masking so hard you don't even process your emotions stop feeling like you're exempt from the basic living experience of mistakes [dragon scampers by] what was that

[m00nbuggies]

i read cinder.. it's very good... anyways PEONY!!

The Gods of Hetaveyond: 10 Facts About Diadema 🐺

A.K.A. The Moon Goddess, Goddess of Design, The Prophet, etc.

1. Diadema is the youngest, yet also the most worshipped among the Three Primordial Gods.

2. The abode of the gods, Hetaveyond, was first created by Diadema.

3. Diadema’s gift is personal magic. Studies have shown that those blessed by the Moon Goddess cannot teach their magic to others, but descendants may inherit it.

4. Diadema is known to receive “prophecies” through a mysterious handheld mirror. Notable events she had “foreseen” include the Rise of Feliciano the Great, the Siege of Bylemisto, and the Dynasty of Discord.

5. Diadema has had nine children in total— six daughters and three sons. However, her eldest son had long perished, a tragedy she has chosen to forget.

6. Diadema’s many instances of splitting her own soul to “bear” children made her emotionally numb and physically weak.

7. Diadema seldom engages in the affairs of mortals, as she believes it to be a waste of energy.

8. Diadema is the most reclusive among the gods, so much that her subjects literally had to beg her to visit them at least every 10 years so she isn’t too disconnected from them.

9. Despite how highly Diadema’s daughters speak of her, she is no less distant as a mother than she is a goddess.

10. Diadema can predict future events with incredible accuracy, but struggles to recall past memories.

Bonus: A Word From Diadema’s Youngest

So… that’s a few facts about my mother. The giver of my name, my magic, and a family for me. And, well… her story goes to show that not even gods are exempt from mistakes.

Celinians really don’t give my sisters enough credit. They’re the ones who deserve all the praise for founding and defending their homes. What has Mother even done? She barely even leaves her room!

But to say I’m not grateful for what she’s done for me would be a heinous lie. Not only did my mother take me in without condition, she technically did the same to my maker as well. She deserves some appreciation for giving me an identity, at least. I just wish she could be more present in the lives of her subjects, rather than watching it all through a tiny little mirror.

Well, that’s about it from me. Please look forward to the other gods and my older siblings as well.

HALLO!!! so before I ask I just wanna express how much i love your art :3 your work really brings a smile onto my face every time i see it, your style’s very endearing in the sense that IT JUST WORKS!!! oh and I love how you color the most, HEAVY ON THE DRUNK PHOENIX ART AAAAA (its one of my fav works of yours!!! the texts never fail to make me giggle, even if I’ve read it over a million times)

and so I wanna ask abt your ethnicity hcs on the ace attorney cast, particularly phoenix and miles because I’ve always been so drawn to the way you illustrate their eye shape (cause it kinda reminds me of mine!2!!! and that alone makes me very giddy) IDK!! Something about is just so “eye catching”, i love it a lot! just couldn’t help but wonder if it has something to do with what you think their ethnicity is or if its just how you like drawing their eyes

ohhhhh gosh this ask makes me so happy for many reasons (the compliments make me want to simultaneously swoon and run away blushing 🥰) but the big one is that yay this means my eye shapes came off as deliberate, lol! i don't know how much sense it actually makes but yeah i do like to hc a lot of the cast as asian american since, well, they are in japanifornia, and i know all about being an asian american living in california 😆 for me phoenix is japanese, miles is chinese, and trucy is half desi via zak. these are the only solid-ish hcs i have so far (just because clearly all i think about are phoenix and miles lmao) and i don't know if any of it will ever explicitly come up in art/fic, so thanks for letting me ramble a little bit about it here, anon 🧡 (and for all the other nice things you said aaaaa)

[churchydraws]

Harvest would totally have a Trimming as a pet. They just goes dimensional traveling one day and comes home with a little meat hamster the size of a basket ball.

[official-bunbun]

No you’re so right, Eclipse! Because every time they get Lunar’s age wrong they always ignore when he says he not a child! Literally not his fault that he’s autistic

I didn’t even think about the monty thing, god that isn’t helping the extreme infantilization in the fandom. I’ve always been one against it. As the resident heavy lunar kinnie, fucking hate it so much.

To add on Lunar isn’t the sweet cutie bean either. Look early on when he was introduced, he threatened Monty several times due to being by Eclipse’s side. Lunar is loyal to a T and was willing to sacrifice a lot for Eclipse intel he was shown that he could have something better. Not only that it’s a fact in the show that Eclipse had to talk to Lunar about his cursing problem.

He isn’t innocent and he’s an adult like everyone else in the show. He just doesn’t know as much since he’s never been properly informed on things.

Anyways, I did see some stuff on you missing your brother and as a heavy Lunar kinnie you and everyone in the system is always welcomed on my tumblr <3

YESSS EXACTLY!!! ALL OF THIS

I have vague memory of an episode where Lunar said a curse word of some sort and was told he can't use that sorta language, which wouldve been understandable if it was bc they were recording but sun and moon curse all the time so it was like ???? what

And the smaller model they use for Lunar doesn't really help either, since shorter characters tend to be treated as children more often

It's such an irritating thing in general but ESPECIALLY as a fictive of Eclipse because I knew Lunar and he was no child in those memories

He's not some innocent little baby and I'm tired of seeing him portrayed that way

And thank you btw :D The SAMS community can feel sorta isolating as a system so any expression of support is always much appreciated

[hippityhoppityicantrhymegoaway]

Oh god I’m dying right now

So my friend sent me this song called “Crazier Best Friends” and I was listening to it and um despite the fact that literally no one is going to read this there’s these few lyrics that go, “Ashley has a tendency to fall for bad guys, Caroline, she likes em sweet and Zoe likes when they lie, Victoria has some daddy issues, she likes em older kinda mean with tattoos” and because I have been going on a Lunar Chronicles spree ever since I finished Winter, I for some reason have matched the characters to said lyrics. So um yeah. Here.

“Cress she has a tendency to fall for bad guys, Winter yeah she likes em sweet, and Kai he likes when they lie, Scarlet has some daddy issues she likes em older, kinda mean with tattoos.”

[ask-the-celestial-family]

He’s actually quite sweet as a baby, Moon. No tantrums at all, just crying and self-hatred. Also he’s completely and utterly terrified because it’s patrol time and he’s scared of the dark. And Sun exhausted himself earlier and isn’t awake or aware at the moment. So, a baby is completely alone in the scary darkness.

He's just crying because he didn't get the Star. Don't let whatever lies he told you fool you. It is kinda funny that Sunny fought him that much. Hope he called Eclipse a prick. -Moon💙
